Oakton Celebrates
V-Day!
|
| 2008 will mark the 10th Anniversary of the V-Day College
Campaign to end violence against women. The heart of the V-Day Campaign
is benefit performances of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues",
which have raised millions of dollars for domestic violence shelters,
rape crisis centers and other charities. In the five years Oakton participated in V-Day we
raised more than $25,000 for local shelters. This year's performances will be co-sponsored by The Oakton Theater League and the Women's Studies Program, and will be totally student directed, designed and produced. Tickets for the Vagina Monologues performances will be $12 general admission and $8 for students and senior. For ticket info call 847-635-1900. Remember, all proceeds will benefit local domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers, except for 10% going to the national V-Day Campaign, which is forwarding this money to charities that benefit the women and children of New Orleans. |
