GOSHEN, Ind. — New World Arts hosts a V-Day 2008 benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues by Eva Ensler.

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sexual slavery.

Proceeds from these performances of The Vagina Monologues will go to the V-Day 2008 Spotlight: Women of New Orleans and the Elkhart County Women's Shelter.

"The Vagina Monologues create a safe environment where the vagina, women, and violence against women can be discussed and change can start to happen," says benefit organizer and Goshen College student Deane Binde. This student initiated production will highlight performances by students and local actresses of all ages.

"While this isn't a New World Arts mainstage production, the mission of V-Day fits right in with our season mission of building a community through theatre. A community of safety, love, and respect for each other," says Artistic Director Laura Gouin.

Performances of "The Vagina Monologues" at New World Arts are scheduled for March 21st; curtain times at 8 & 10 p.m. Ticket prices are $10 general admission, $5 for students and seniors. For more information or to make reservations, call (574) 975-0311 or go online to www.newworldarts.org. New World Arts is located at 211 S. Main Street in Goshen, Indiana (parking lot and entrance are located at the back of the building, accessible from South Third Street).

Founded in 1998 as New World Players, New World Arts seeks to expand the boundaries of human potential through live theatrical experiences that instigate dialogue and encourage growth among artists and audiences alike. We believe that collaboration, risk-taking, play and promoting new work are essential to fulfilling this mission.

Located at 211 S. Main Street, New World Arts produces a yearly theatre season and hosts occasional visiting ensembles, musicians and visual artists. For more information, call (574) 975-0311, email info@newworldarts.org, or visit www.newworldarts.org.
