A... My Name is Alice
 Tickets for A... My Name is Alice are on sale now!
Prepare for a lyrical, outrageous musical with A...My Name is Alice.
Discover a select group of women doing what they do best...being women.
Originally composed through a group of comedy writers, composers, and
directors, the play is a wonder to behold with quick song and a powerful
production. Find out how women react to the catastrophes of
parent/teacher conferences, the joys of a male strip club, the horror
of losing a parent, to a girl screaming at her soon to be
ex-boyfriend's jockstrap in a washing machine. The songs will liven
your step and quicken your mind. From songs with random French words to
a canticle about drinking, this show will uplift man or woman.

The Vagina Monologues
by Eve Ensler
directed by Richard Dines
Featuring Leslie Ballew, Kristin Farr, Stephanie
Judkins, Chelsea Russell & Maxine
Whittaker.
The Vandivort is excited to present a return engagement
of the bold and hilarious mega-hit that spread the word and changed the world.
This Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone introduces a wildly
divergent gathering of female voices - from outrageous rants on feminine hygiene
products to stories of self-discovery and violence toward women.
"Ensler breaks taboos by stripping
fear and shame from what she celebrates here. It makes for quite a party. Funny,
outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry..."
This play contains
mature language and subjects.
