V-Day 2008 Spotlight

V-Day’s 2008 Spotlight Campaign focuses on the Women of New Orleans and the Gulf South. These women - Katrina Warriors - have come to symbolize the universal plight of women in conflict zones– high levels of violence; economic hardship; racism; and public structures that failed to protect them. Katrina Warriors also highlight the dire need for resources to this still devastated community.

As Eve Ensler writes in her latest book Insecure At Last: Losing It In Our Security Obsessed World “What undid the people of New Orleans was, and remains, the lack of response, the feeling of being forgotten, the lack of a plan, the waiting, the humiliations that occurred on the backs of humiliations. The lack of respect.”

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.
