Free and Open to the Public (catch V-Day DC Fever early ;-))
Eve Ensler, V-Day Founder & Author of "I Am an Emotional Creature"
Eve Ensler is an American playwright, performer, feminist and activist, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues. Her experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to create V-DAY, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. "I am an Emotional Creature" is a celebration of the authentic voice inside every girl and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere to speak up, follow their dreams, and become the women they were always meant to be. Through rants, poetry, questions, and facts, we come to understand the universality of girls everywhere: their resiliency, their wildness, their pain, their fears, their secrets, and their triumphs. The event will open with a performance by drummers from The Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project (http://www.youngwomendrum.org/). Visit busboysandpoets.com for more information!
