NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and Janet Burgan will present a benefit reading of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play, “The Vagina Monologues,” on Friday, February 5 at 7 p.m. in the Krause Recital Hall at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main Street, 2nd floor. This performance will benefit VIP (Victims’ Intervention Program) in Honesdale, PA. VIP provides confidential services to female, male and child victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes. It can be reached at www.vipempowers.org or 800/698-4VIP.

This special benefit performance is presented as part of V-Day’s campaign One Billion Rising: Revolution, a global initiative that calls on women survivors of violence to rise and demand an end to violence.

The cast will be Janet Burgan, Beverly Dally, Tannis Kowalchuk, Cathleen Lathrop and Kyoshin Lohr. “The Vagina Monologues,” which was first performed off-Broadway by Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage, and excitement buried in women’s experiences. It was hailed by the New York Times as “funny” and “poignant” and by the Daily News as “intelligent” and “courageous.”

Admission costs $10. Seating is limited and reservations are encouraged. The snow date is Sunday, February 7 at 2 p.m. Call 845/252-7576 or visit www.DelawareValleyArtsAlliance.org.
