Mary Paul at the Hudson Reporter has written an article about the production this year titled, A different kind of V-Day : ‘The Vagina Monologues’ seeks to empower local women with a benefit at the Loew’s. See entire article here….

“Every woman and man can relate to the monologues,” Lillian Ribeiro (director) says, explaining that the social facets of the play are not the only reasons to see it. “For this year, what I think is entertaining is some of the people who will be performing. It’s not only actresses, but it’s people you know from the community, like Diana [Schwaeble, managing editor] of the Hudson Reporter. And there’s Geri Fallo [Hoboken’s director of Cultural Affairs], who’s also known in the community. ”

The charitable cause remains, of course, at the heart of the play in the spirit of V-Day, which Figueiredo describes in terms of its global aim:

“It’s a response and a message to stop violence against women and girls and to empower them to live life to the fullest and to really do what they dream to do. It means different things to different people.”
