Performers and Volunteers needed!

V-Day San Francisco is proud to announce A MEMORY, A MONOLOGUE, A RANT, A PRAYER ("MMRP"). This is a performance to benefit community organizations that empower women and communities impacted by violence. This year's performance will raise funds and awareness for San Francisco Women Against Rape (www.sfwar.org), The Riley Center (www.rileycenter.org), and Spark (www.sparksf.org).

The performance date and venue have yet to be determined. The goal is to perform the production in March 2010, in the Mission District of San Francisco. We are in the beginning stages of organizing this performance, so the details will be provided as they come!

About V-Day: V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. V-Day raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwrite/Founder Eve Ensler's award-winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works.
