Vagina Monologues!
So, I went and saw the Vagina Monologues this past Thursday, and it was my first time seeing it. I wasn't completely sure what to expect going into it, because I had read most of it from last semester, and the readings seemed overwhelming to me. I have never been used to hearing those kinds of things talked about in public. I consider myself quite conservative and don't really think its appropriate to discuss your private life with others. But my mind was quickly changed when I saw the play. I realized that this was not a scandalous form of entertainment. It was witty and very informative. I as well as many others had no idea about the violence against women and the sufferings of women all over the world. Still there were a couple of scenes that made me blush, like the whole "c word" one. I'm just really not a big fan of that word at all, and I dont say it. Hearing everyone yelling it i was like what the heck. But it's whatever, I got over it. I did actually like the dances in it too. At first I didnt think I would like them because I thought they would take away from the performance, But I really did like them, because it actually added to the performance. My favorite monologue would have to be the "angry vagina" one. The actress that performed it is amazing and I have seen her before in "Assassins." The monologue was very clever and somewhat true to women. I was thoroughly entertained by the performance. So overall, I really enjoyed the production of the Vagina Monologues and I would reccomend it to anyone and I think they would get the same experience I recieved.
