LEWISTON — For the 11th year, Bates College will support efforts to reduce domestic violence with a production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” in mid-February.

The Robinson Players, a student-run theater group, presents the play around Valentine’s Day, calling attention to the national V-Day campaign to stop violence against women.

Ensler based “The Vagina Monologues” on interviews with more than 200 women about their sexuality, their bodies and their stories of violence and sexual abuse. The result is a collection of women’s stories that are personal yet universal, comic and poignant, brazen and mysterious.

Tickets to the production, with a run of Feb. 11-13, are $5. Proceeds will go to Safe Voices, an Auburn nonprofit that supports victims of domestic violence. Formerly known as the Abused Women’s Advocacy Project, the organization changed its name to emphasize its gender-neutral mission.

The play premiered 15 years ago and has since been performed worldwide. Productions have featured such top actresses as Glenn Close, Cate Blanchett, Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Rosie Perez, Lily Tomlin, Kate Winslett, Melanie Griffith and Calista Flockhart.

In 1998, Ensler founded the organization V-Day to parlay the play’s success into an effective force for social and political change.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. in Gannett Theater, Pettigrew Hall, 305 College St. Tickets will be available at the door.

Every year around Valentine’s Day, members of Bates Colleges’ student-run theater group present “The Vagina Monologues.” Proceeds from this year’s performancs Feb. 11-13 will go to Safe Voices, an Auburn nonprofit that supports victims of domestic violence.
