Vagina Monologues very successful The presentation was both heartwarming and heartbreaking Heather Nelson Free Press
The Vagina Monologues performed at the Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on Feb. 26 was a sold-out success, says co-ordinator Meg Kennedy-Gunn. The cast did an amazing job, Meg says, adding the cast came together and made it happen – taking time out of their busy lives. “The subject needs to be kept in front of people. Sometimes people can get lost in what’s real; their reality may not be one of continuing violence as other people experience.” The play came together, with co-
ordinators Meg and Gail Edinger along with their cast, within just five weeks. Meg says the performers were encouraged not to memorize, but just present the story. On Valentines Day 1998, Eve Ensler, author of Vagina Monologues, along with a group of women started V-Day. The core demand was simple – stop violence against women and girls. Ensler allows groups around the world to produce a performance of the play, as well as other works created by V-Day. These groups can use the proceeds for local individual projects and programs that work to end violence against women and girls, Ensler says, adding she believes local women know best what their communities need. A total of $4,207.35 was raised at the Feb. 26 presentation. The proceeds were given to the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre, which is located in the South Cariboo Business Centre, 475 Birch Ave.

Gail Edinger, who co-ordinated the Vagina Monologues with Meg Kennedy-Gunn, introduced longtime area resident Helen Horn who presented her piece, entitled The Flood, during the dress rehearsal on March 3. The performance was held at the Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House and it was a huge hit.
