‘Vagina Monologues’
Readings of Eve Ensler’s Obie Award-winning play “The Vagina Monologues” will take place at the Southampton Arts Center on Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m. The presentation is a celebration of the play’s 20th anniversary and the founding of V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls.
Directed by Jenna Mate and produced by Valerie diLorenzo and Amy Kirwin, the production’s cast includes Elaine Bernstein, Kathleen Carthy, Loretta Davis, Ms. diLorenzo, Carolann DiPirro, Leslie Duroseau, Rebecca Edana, Bridget Fleming, Tina Jones, Ms. Kirwin, Lola Lama, Amayrani Martinez, Kate Mueth, Cindy Pease Roe, Kimberly Quinn Johnson, and Susan Stout.
A panel discussion moderated by Ms. Davis, the director of the Retreat, will follow the 2 p.m. show, and a reception and question-and-answer session with the cast will follow the 7 p.m. performance. Tickets are $15, $12 for senior citizens, and $10 for students. Net proceeds will benefit the Retreat, which provides shelter, safety, and support for victims of domestic abuse and works to break the cycle of family violence.
