<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">February is coming up, which means that it is The Vagina Monologues season! Although the production is called the "Vagina Monologues," at BHS, we choose
to incorporate pieces from Eve Ensler's other play, “I am an Emotional Creature,” which explores the stories of teenage girls specifically.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">With these two pieces, the play consists</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#141823"> of a series of monologues about girls and
women’s experiences, ranging from identity and sexuality to body image all the way to rape and violence against women.
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">I do not think that there is a more appropriate time to be uplifting strong female voices and supporting the message that this show encourages. Women got the power. Our cast has been working
so hard in the last few months to use this show as our tool of resistance and social activism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">So... get your women's march energy on and come to this year’s production of The Vagina Monologues! The shows are February 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th at
7 pm at the Florence Schwimley Little Theater at Berkeley High School. Tickets are $10-12 sliding scale and all the proceeds go to organizations fighting to end violence against women and girls.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
