The V Word

On April 16 and April 23, West Los Angeles will stage a production of Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning play The Vagina Monologues as part of the V-Day Worldwide Campaign to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women. This year, the first West LA show is a star (and lesbian)-studded affair, featuring performances by The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken and L Word stars Jennifer Beals and Janina Gavankar.

The April 16 performance will also feature a bevy of out lesbian actresses, including Honey Labrador (April's Shower), Alexandra Hedison (Designing Blind, The L Word), Jill Bennett (In Her Line of Fire, The Pleasure Drivers), Jenny Shimizu, and Danielle Egnew.

    Vagina Day (in no way affiliated with The Vagina Monologues)

    Come on, I can't be the only one who thought of that great scene from 30 Rock.

    Jenna: Every February 14th, we improvise monologues about our lady parts for the homeless.

    Liz: Oh, to benefit the homeless?

    Jenna: No...just for them.
