All proceeds from the show will go to the Sojourner House, a center for advocacy and resource center for victims of domestic violence in Rhode Island.
The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written by Eve Ensler which started as an off-Broadway play in 1996 and since then has been preformed around the country by numerous advocacy groups and universities.

Each year a new monologue is introduced to the play to highlight an issue affecting women around the world.

Their mission is to raise awareness and dispel myths about domestic violence, and to create a campus network to combat any form of domestic violence or relationship abuse.
