Posted by Christine E. at 8:12 pm in Announcements |

In 2006, over 50 authors, playwrights, and celebrities contributed writings to the 2-week long New York festival, “Until the Violence Stops”. From that amazing and ground-breaking event, A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer (MMRP) was born. All of the proceeds from the book, published in 2007 and edited by Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle, benefit the V-Day movement.
