Company of New York spent a year and a half conducting _ over 200 interviews with the people of Laramie. The result was their play-The Laramie Project. We thought it was a great story, Eye says garding Westerns decision to perform the play. However, not everyone thinks so highly of the play. Reverend Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS plans to visit Western on the 23, 24 and 250 _ April to protest the production. oe Phelps, the author of godhatesfags.com, has attracted public attention by his vocal stance against - homosexuality. He held anti-gay protests at Shepherds - funeral and at the trial of McKinney and Henderson. Phelps didnt submit to being interviewed by the Tectonic Theatre Company.

Im a shy person, admits Caldwell. The aim of the play Was not to create controversy over the word vagina in its title, she clarifies, but to get people interested in womens issues. People were certainly interested. It was amazing, says Caldwell. We were completely sold out each night. We had to turn people away. Thirty-five women participated in the show, Every woman who came out to the auditions was cast, she boasts. The cast ranged in ages from 17 to 60. It consisted of Western students, SCC students, WCU faculty and staff and members of the community. The Vagina Monologues. aside from talking about issues, also acts on issues.

V-Day is a movement organized by Ensler. The V- Day website at www.vday.org explains V-Day as a global movement to end violence against women and girls. It is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations, The Vagina Monologues is performed all over the country during the period of time surrounding Valentines Day. The proceeds from the performances go to further the goals of V-Day. The proceeds from Westerns production went to REACH of Jackson County, the WCU Womens Center Scholarship Fund and the women of Juarez, Mexico. lve heard time and time again how proud they [the participants in the play] are to be a woman after reading this [play] and understanding that they are part of this powerful force of change, states Caldwell. This is the first year the Vagina Monologues has been performed at Western. I hope it will be an annual occurrence, Caldwell says. In the first six years of its existence, the movement has raised over $20 million. These proceeds have been used to help fund programs all over the United States and the world, benefiting organizations range from the DDC Rape Crisis Center in Washington DC to Dolphin Anti-Rape & AIDS Control Outreach in Kenya.
