of "The Vagina Monologues"

JUPITER, FL (February 24, 2004) - For the sixth year in a row, the V-Day College Campaign is coming to hundreds of college and university campuses around the world. V-Day is a worldwide movement to stop sexual violence against women and girls, and proclaims Valentine's Day as a day to celebrate women and demand the end of abuse.

In support of V-Day, Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus will host a benefit performance of Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning play "The Vagina Monologues." The performances will be held on Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28 at 8 p.m. in the MacArthur Auditorium, 5353 Parkside Drive, Jupiter.

Tickets may be purchased at the door. General admission is $5, or $3 for high school and college students with ID.
