Ever heard of Eve Ensler’s play, The Vagina Monologues? For those who love the script, missed out on the pop culture phenom, or any of you curious about the inner workings of a woman’s brain, fret not! Bushwick is getting its own dose of pussy power! Led by Meggie Schmidt, the Bushwick Vagina Monologues will be presented at Pinebox Rock Shop from April 5-7, 2013 and features a cast comprised of seasoned and rookie actresses who interpret the scripts as each woman would – differently.

These inner monologues have been presented a countless number of times, including on the Madison Square Garden stage and a televised production on HBO. The text is beautifully erotic and empowering. Sexual experiences and internal struggles are simultaneously harmonious and jarring. The vagina is put on a pedestal and then scrutinized/adored/questioned. So what’s the reason for another production now?

The onslaught of sexual harassment incidents in Bushwick last December motivated Meggie to produce these popular and socially criticized tales. Meggie states that “The Vagina Monologues is an incredible resource for generating conversations about women’s issues.” She wants to curate engaging discussions about a woman’s experience, and she believes that The Vagina Monologues allows for that outlet because “you can engage without using your own words.”
