I had never been to a production of the Vagina Monologues before. I jumped on the opportunity to go to this event as I had heard numerous good things about the production from those who had seen it in the past. I did not really know what to expect but I was excited to see the topics that this production would cover. I have to say that I was not disappointed by this production. I thought it was very well done and I have to commend those that had the bravery and courage to perform. After the production I was talking to Sara and we both questioned if we would ever be able to go on stage and talk about topics that are seen as very taboo by society.

While I thoroughly enjoyed this production, I think there were still groups that were underrepresented within it. For example, a lot of the monologues were based on a gender binary. The addition of the monologue written by Cornell students did increase the groups discussed, however I wish more than just this one monologue did so. This production also did seem to have a political agenda, especially noticeable during the final scene. I enjoyed this part. It felt very empowering. Overall I am very glad that I attended this event and was able to have this experience.
