Memphis Monologues and Vagina Monologues Performances to Benefit Planned Parenthood
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
V-Day Memphis (PPGMR) is a group of local women, led by music promoter Elizabeth Cawein, who host a performance night called The Memphis Monologues, then perform Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues each year, with the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood’s health and education programs.
The Memphis Monologues takes the concept behind Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues and reimagines it for Memphis women. This year it features all new performances by former Tennessee Senator Beverly Marrero; actress, writer, director and producer Savannah Bearden; singer Deborah Swiney; Shayla Lawerence; Amanda Quillen; Rev. Stacy Smith; Jakatae Jessup and many others.
