The Vagina Monologues (bilingual)

About The Event

I would like to have authorization to use both the Spanish and English scripts of The Vagina Monologues for 2016 to produce it as part of a project with College Unbound in Providence, RI. I have been involved in bilingual productions of The Vagina Monologues for the last two years in partnership with Sojourner House, however, it has come to my intention that they have decided to not do their bilingual production this year. I very much want to continue the tradition and am in a program to work on my bachelor's degree with adult students, many of whom are bilingual, and have passion to help others. I am confident that I will have no trouble putting together a great team.

About The Organizer

Brenna D Evans

Brenna D Evans is an ordained minister, former missionary and pastor as well as owning her own small business. After fifteen years living in Latin America, and raising her children in three different countries, she has a global view of situations that women face, regardless of skin color, economic demographics or nationality. While living abroad, Brenna helped develop faith-based community events focused on the health of the family; spirit, soul and body. A two-time survivor of Domestic Violence, Brenna joined Sojourner House’s production of The Vagina Monologues in 2014 as one of the players in order to have the opportunity to join with many voices, until we appear as one, and say NO MORE to violence against women. In 2015 she not only participated on the stage, but also behind, as co-director of Sojourner House’s bilingual production.

Now, as a full-time student, she is working on a business plan for a new prototype of emergency housing shelter for Domestic Violence survivors.
