Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Valley is proud to be the chosen recipient organization for two benefit performances of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play, “The Vagina Monologues.” The Feb. 12 and 20 performances are presented by V-Day Tehama-Shasta, a local grassroots organization that is part of an international mission to end violence against women and girls.

The shows take place 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12 at the Shasta College Theater in Redding, 11555 Old Oregon Trail; and 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 at the State Theater, 333 Oak Street in Red Bluff.

All proceeds stay local to benefit Girls Inc. NSV, which provides empowerment programs and workshops to Shasta and Tehama County girls ages 6 to 18. This year, Girls Inc. NSV is celebrating its 10th anniversary, successfully accomplishing its mission of “Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold.”

Performed by a dedicated local cast, “The Vagina Monologues” is a collection of moving, often hilarious, heart-wrenching stories that share a common theme: the joys, challenges and trials of owning a vulva. Attendees will hear stories from many aspects of the female experience, with new monologues added each year. “The Vagina Monologues” delves into women’s sexuality, strengths, sisterhood and humor. A few monologues share the pain of rape, abuse and intolerance. The performance includes adult language and content and is intended for mature audiences; parental guidance is strongly advised.

Attendees will be supporting ongoing Girls Inc. NSV programs for local girls, including group classes that teach girls to nurture their own self-esteem, respect their bodies and each other, and to recognize and defend themselves against harmful relationships.

Tickets for “The Vagina Monologues” are $15 and can be purchased online at girlsincNSV.org, in person at Toucan Tans, 2012 Hilltop Dr., in Redding, Wink Fashion and Salon, 629 Main St., in Red Bluff, or at the door.
