I'm all about vaginas tonight!

ah! i am excited. tonight, I will be going out to a play at Phoenix College. It's an all deaf cast doing the Vagina Monologues. It's a sold-out success! The Phoenix Deaf Women Organization started this play to fund their organization. (I just joined that organization as well by the way. I am now a member of it and went to my first meeting recently last month.)

Mostly, people in general are going because of Sue Thomas (star of F.B.Eye) will be in the cast on-stage tonight. I don't really care about that. I've been wanting to see a Vagina Monologues play so bad for so long. Since I first saw Eve Esler do her HBO special about Vagina Monologues, I fell in love with the idea of her approach.

I had TWO opporunities to see the play years ago when I was living in California. They were shown at my own college. I had conflicts, unfortunately, during their plays. One was related to unavailable interpretters and another was related to home stuff with my roomies. I was so disappointed both times.

Eve wrote a book, which I have not read yet and should!, and someone told her to make a play or tv show or something out it and encouraged her to do so. Eve sat and thought about it and came up with an approach of how to not to scare away audiences by bashing men or by using anger toward awful history toward women. She wanted to make it appealing and acceptable. Thus, it became a success, obviously.

All over the nation, there are people making plays on their own, affiliting the title Vagina Monologues, to promote awareness and stopping domestic violence. Such like the production tonight here in Phoenix, Eve is not involved in this one or many others before. It has spreaded like wildfire. I am so happy about that.

I saw segements of Eve's orginial plays on HBO special once and for me, it was so wonderful and so gravitifying. I just know it is a must and will be worth it to go out and see the real thing in your own eyes. It is educational, truthful, funny, graphic, sad, just beautiful. Women WILL relate to many topics.. no, alllll topics that the Vagina Monologues has to offer.

Men must go also because they will most definately learn something and gain respect for women hopefully. I extremely support young boys (maybe over 14 years old should be approirate) going to these plays so that way they are exposed earlier in life on how to treat women right. It is, after all, to promote preventing domestic violence!
