The Vagina Monologues” is coming to Eastern this week, and the deadline to purchase tickets for the dinner portion of the event is Monday.

“The Vagina Monologues” will be performed on Friday at 8:00 p.m., with a dinner beforehand at 6:30 p.m., in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Reservations for the dinner part of the show must be made by Monday, a press release said. For those only attending the show, reservations must be made by Thursday.

The dinner-theater event will be performed in honor of V-Day, a worldwide movement to stop violence against women and girls, a press release said.

“The Vagina Monologues” is based on interviews with a diverse group of women.

The interviews explored sexually-oriented questions “often pondered, but seldom asked,” the press release said.

Admission is $40 for the general public and $35 for Eastern, Lake Land College and high school students for the dinner and the show.

The show-only tickets are $20 for the public and $15 for students.

Tickets may be purchased through the Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service (SACIS), located in the basement of Lawson Hall, at The Razorz Edge or at Towne Square Jewelers, the press release said. Ninety percent of the proceeds will go to SACIS, while the remaining 10 percent will go toward a fund for Afghan women.

The event is sponsored by The Razorz Edge, Towne Square Jewelers, University Board and Atteberry and Marshall Heating and Air.
