BEMIDJI, Minn.<\/strong> — The humorous and poignant show “The Vagina Monologues” will be presented on Friday and Saturday, March 5-6, as part of Bemidji State University’s month-long series of events to recognize March as Women’s History Month.<\/p>\n

The performances, both scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., will be held at the Beaux Arts Ballroom on the BSU campus. Tickets will be available at the door, $10 for general admission and $5 for students with a valid ID. Students need not attend Bemidji State to receive the student discount; any valid student ID will grant admission for the discounted price.<\/p>\n

Written by Eve Ensler, “The Vagina Monologues” reveals a series of different women’s stories and experiences involving their genitalia. The characters, who range from an attorney-turned-sex therapist to an old lady from Queens, speak on the subject in alternating funny, poetic and provocative voices. <\/p>\n

Ensler developed the idea for “The Vagina Monologues” after she realized that her work, mostly about women, was missing a physiological connection.<\/p>\n

The play won an Obie Award in 1997 and has toured numerous countries since it was originally produced in the United States. It became a best-selling book a year later.<\/p>\n

Bemidji State’s performance of “The Vagina Monologues” is sponsored by the Women’s Center and Bemidji State’s office of Student Development and Enrollment.<\/p>\n
