Performance Info:

Do I have to memorize my monologue?
No; As a matter of fact, we have found that memorizing is actually a detriment to the performance–This production is about celebrating women and their stories, not performances by actresses; the monologues are not memorized, allowing the performers to connect with the audience, rather than trying to remember lines.

Will I just read from my script for the Performance?
No; we will provide Pink Postcards with your monologue on them for your use on March 1st.

How often are Rehearsals?
Because the monologues will be performed in a story telling fashion rehearsals will be once a week, every Tuesday, until the week of the performance, when there will be 3.

What if there is bad weather on a rehearsal night?
If the weather is bad and there is a chance rehearsal could be canceled and/or rescheduled. Please call 479-6746 AFTER 5:00pm. If rehearsal is cancelled/postponed the message will indicate. If there is a general voicemail message, rehearsal will proceed as scheduled.

If we are not memorizing the lines, why do we have to rehearse?
Because the women in this production come from all walks of life, some may be more comfortable speaking in public than others. Rehearsals will help increase confidence with speaking in front of a few, which will help when you are on-stage in front of 400! Getting to know your fellow actresses so you may be supportive and connect with each other is another benefit. Also, having 1 on 1 time with the director helps the performer to find her own voice within the monologue, allowing her to show her radiant and dynamic self.

How is this show staged?
The cast will be assembled on-stage for the whole production. When it’s time for the actors to perform, they will move to the front of the stage.

What will I be wearing for the show?
Performers for V-Day 2008 will be wearing black and/or red. Christine will talk with each of you about what to wear, and to answer any questions you may have. Christine will have final costume approval.

Ticket Info:

What is the scoop on tickets?
All tickets are $25.00 each and are available on a 1st come-first serve basis. All seating at “A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer” is general admission. There are no reserved seats. There are only 375 seats available for this performance. Please encourage people to purchase their tickets ASAP. The tickets for this show could sell fast. There may not be tickets available to purchase at the door.

Can people make reservations and pick them up at the door the night of the show?
No. Because this show is a benefit, we want to ensure every ticket is sold that can be, and that everyone who wants to see the show has an opportunity to buy tickets. More than 50% of reservations that are made are never picked up or paid for.

IMPORTANT: All checks for tickets MUST be made out to: Domestic Violence Service Center, with “V-Day” on the Memo line.

Will the Dress Rehearsal be open to the Public like it was the 1st year? The Dress Rehearsal was open to the public in 2005 because we sold out the week prior to the production and there were so many people who still wanted to see “The Vagina Monologues”. The Final Dress Rehearsal of “A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer” will ONLY be opened to the public if the Performance on the 1st is sold out.
