Silenced (Michigan) legislator to perform '(The Vagina) Monologues' on Capitol steps

[MADem]

22. We'll see. I think if adult male legislators haven't figured out what it's for, no wonder they're

in such a bad mood. If they can't handle an Obie-Award winning play, that's their problem.

Perhaps a lesson in the form of a monologue or three would get them on the right track--or at least give them a sense of what they might be missing!


This report says they are doing a special performance of the Vagina Monologues--not excerpts, unless that's what the "special" bit means. Time will tell, I guess. There will be at least ten people participating...

Just days after a state lawmaker was silenced for referring to her vagina on the state House floor, she and other female state legislators will join Tony Award-winning playwright Eve Ensler for a special performance of her famed play "The Vagina Monologues" on Monday on the Capitol steps in Lansing.

State Rep. Lisa Brown, D-West Bloomfield, and Sen. Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing, will perform from 6-8 p.m. with Ensler along with seven other state lawmakers and local actors.
