SPRINGFIELD – A special alumni cast will present a benefit reading of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play, “The Vagina Monologues” on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. in the Trutter Center. 

Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for students with ID. They may be purchased at 7 p.m. at the door the night of the performance.

This is the 10th year LLCC has joined this global movement as part of the V‑Day 2015 College/Community Campaign.

This performance is presented as part of V-Day’s “One Billion Rising for Justice.” It is a global call for women survivors of violence and those who love them to gather and release their stories through art, dance, marches, ritual, song, spoken word, sit-ins and testimonies.

The performance dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women’s experiences.

Last year over 5,800 V-Day benefits were held around the world. They raised more than $5 million in funds along with awareness toward ending violence against women.

Contact Dr. Deborah Brothers, professor of English, at 217-786-4966 or [email protected] for more information on LLCC’s production.
