Students to present 'Vagina Monologues'

Darcia Datshkovsky '10 will direct and Kaitlin Canty '08 will produce Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" at Old Chapel Thursday, Feb. 15, and Friday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 17, 2 p.m.

The entire performance is run and supported by students. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door.

"Last year, we sold out and raised more than $2,000," said Canty. Of that, 90 percent went to Schenectady YWCA for programs to stop domestic violence and its battered women's shelter; 10 percent went to the V-Day Spotlight Campaign. The YWCA is the primary beneficiary again this year. More than 1,100 V-Day events will be held this year on college and university campuses around the world to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women and girls.
