Hyman*, Eve Lindley, Elizabeth Mackintosh, Briana Packen*, Sharon Richardson, Tiffany Rachelle Stewart*, Josie Whittlesey* and Annie Worden*Hailed by The New York Times as ‘funny’ and ‘poignant’ and by the Daily News as ‘intelligent’ and ‘courageous’, The Vagina Monologues, which was first performed Off-Broadway by Ms. Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women’s experiences.

This production, first performed at Taconic Correctional Facility on April 22nd, features a cast of actresses, activists and formerly incarcerated women. Playwright Eve Ensler will make a special appearance. V-Day Taconic’s production of The Vagina Monologues is presented as part of V-Day’s 2015 campaign ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE, a global call for women survivors of violence and those who love them to gather safely in places where they are entitled to justice.

All proceeds from this one-night event will benefit Women’s Prison Association (WPA), the nation’s first organization solely dedicated to working with women at all stages of criminal justice involvement so that they can imagine and realize law-abiding, self-directed and satisfying lives in the community. WPA assists in finding safe and affordable housing; addiction, health, and mental health services; reunites women with their children; and assists in obtaining employment. Over 90% of WPA’s clients have been victims of some sort of physical abuse, usually sexual abuse.*Appearing courtesy of Actor’s Equity AssociationRunning time: 110 minutes, with no intermissionTicket prices include a $1 theatre restoration fee.
