The Vagina Monologues opened in Pigott Auditorium for the first time in three years at Seattle University March 11, 2009. Clara Ganey | The Spectator

“The Vagina Monologues” is coming to campus Feb. 11, 12 and 14, sponsored by the Society of Feminists. Directed by three Seattle U students and performed by 33 women from campus, the society has gone beyond previous years and decided to put on Domestic Violence Awareness Week, in concert with the performances.  Many clubs on campus have already come together to raise awareness on the subject, which affects more than one in four women at some point in their lives. Oxfam, Trans & Allies, Bonnie Norris and PHAT are all participating.

Yet the Society is looking to create a massive annual event, sparking discussion and change. It is looking for any interested parties who want to raise awareness on campus. Wynn Barnard and Andrew Battaglia , co-president of the Society of Feminists, are interested in programming: panels, presentations, videos, papers, etc.

Students, professors, faculty or clubs are all welcome to participate.  Wynn Barnard can be reached at barnardw@seattleu.edu for anyone interested, and tickets for “The Vagina Monologues” will soon be available at the CAC.
