The Vagina Monologues, by Eve Ensler, candidly explores female sexuality with humor and poignancy. Based on hundreds of interviews, the monologues are a collection of stories that represent young and old, various ethnicities and nationalities, diverse identities and sexual orientations.

10% of ticket sales will benefit Eve Ensler's VDAY anti-violence campaigns. This year's rally is set to take place in New Orleans. The purpose of these rallies is to spread awareness regarding domestic and sexual violence perpetrated against women and girls.

90% of ticket sales will go to benefit Safe Passage Inc. The organization provides a wide range of services to victims of domestic and sexual violence including crisis intervention and medical advocacy, short- and long-term housing for victims and their children, counseling, legal advocacy, children's services, community education, and a batterer's intervention program.
