"Penn State University Brandywine The Vagina Monologues" will be held on campus Friday, March 22, at 6:30 p.m., and Saturday, March 23, at 2 p.m. in the Main Building Auditorium, room 101.
Both performances are open to the public. Student admission is $5 and general admission is $8. Proceeds will benefit Family Support Line, a local non-profit organization that aids children and their families in addressing the distress caused by child sexual abuse. Family Support Line has been utilizing in-depth prevention programs and dedicated treatments to provide support to victims of child sexual abuse for 25 years, according to its website.
Faculty, staff, students and Penn State alumni will serve as actors and volunteers for the performance, which aims to educate the campus and local community about sexual violence against women and girls while raising funds for the cause. Brandywine is one of 5,800 organizations worldwide to host a performance.
