Eeeee!!! As I’ve produced The Va**na Monologues four times, I thought it would be a good idea to try something new... Thrilled to share I’ve been approved to hold a production of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer (MMRP) for the 2019 VDay Season! I (Stacey Champion) will be producing/directing with assistance from my right hand goddess Lindsay Robinson, and the fabulous V-Sister Arana Wolin will be our Hot Mama Stage Manager.

Especially excited that the spotlight this season is on incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women, so our main beneficiary is going to be Reinventing Reentry, founded by the fabulous Sue Ellen Allen. I have some additional ideas up my sleeve as well...😉

I’ll be setting up an audition event tomorrow, but save the date of Saturday, December 8 from 12-4p if you’re interested. ❤️ Productions to take place over VDay 2019 (Thurs., Fri., Sat.).

About MMRP:
A groundbreaking collection of monologues by world-renowned authors and playwrights, edited by Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle. These diverse voices rise up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the insidiousness of violence at all levels: brutality, neglect, a punch, even a put-down. The volume features such authors and topics as: Edward Albee on S*M; Maya Angelou on women's work; Michael Cunningham on self-mutilation; Dave Eggers on a Sudanese abduction; Edwidge Danticat on a border crossing; Carol Gilligan on a daughter witnessing her mother being hit; Susan Miller on raising a son as a single mother; Sharon Olds on a bra; Patricia Bosworth on her own physically abusive relationship; Jane Fonda on reclaiming our Mojo; and many more.
