On Feb. 16 at 7 p.m., VDay Concord will present a one-night only benefit reading of Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Concord. Last year, more than 5,800 V-Day benefits were held around the world raising funds and awareness towards ending violence against women. These highly successful events raised more than $5 million through performance of The Vagina Monologues, readings from V-Day’s A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer and Any One Of Us: Words From Prison and screenings of V-Day’s documentary Until The Violence Stops and the PBS documentary What I Want My Words To Do To You. Concord has joined this global movement as part of the VDay 2019 Community Campaign. V-DAY Concord’s 2016 event was the first local production, and the event was a great success with more than 100 attendees and raising more than $1,100. Proceeds benefitted the Crisis Center of New Hampshire. This year’s event will continue our growth as we aim to double what we raised last year. Admission is $10 suggested at the door, there will be free child care provided, and we will also have buttons, cupcakes, and more for sale as well as a 50/50 raffle to help us reach our fundraising goal.
