Culver-Stockton College’s recent production of The Vagina Monologues was a not-miss performance.  A play written by Eve Ensler, The Vagina Monologues tells the story of the ups and downs of womanhood in an episodic format.

The show stars an all-female ensemble cast that highlights each character’s unique experience through womanhood, as well as providing facts to the audience about women’s vaginas. Cast member Krista Barth, junior English Education and Speech/Theatre Education major mentioned  “The Vagina Monologues is different than any other show we’ve produced because it really focuses on the story. There is minimal set, simple costumes, and only small light changes from monologue to monologue. While these elements do help in telling the story, this show is focused on the people and their experiences rather than added spectacle.”

There were moments that had the audience laughing, from the comedic scenes to the creative spin the show took on classic musical numbers. Audience member Bailey McNamer, sophomore Fine Arts Management major, commented “I liked all the different parts about the vagina facts. I also liked when the cast would get up and almost interact with the audience.”

The Vagina Monologues is a show that welcomes all to come and hear stories of the truth about vaginas and the experiences women across generations have had. From periods, to sex, birth, and everything in between, the show digs into the inner thoughts and views women have.
