We are Appalachian Wireless. In an effort to curb local domestic violence, a group of women is putting on a show known as the Vagina Monologues this week. Monday Mountain Top spoke with Prestonsburg Tourism Director Samantha Johnson about the show. Yes. So the Vagina Monologues, it is a collection of stories based on interviews with real women from all across the world, written by Eve Ansler, now known as V, and this show in particular. So it actually premiered in 1994. So it's not a new show. And since then it is in over a hundred countries around the world and 50 different languages. And I think the reason it's so universal is that it's just the story of life. And you know, I know the title can be intimidating, but it's real and it's funny, but at the end of the day its entire mission is to stop violence against women and stop violence against people. And that's why we are so honored to feature faces from our community to bring these performances to life, but then to also partner with Turning Point Domestic Violence Services here in Eastern Kentucky to donate all those proceeds to Dillman and also just share the word for what they're doing because they are they are putting that mission into action. For the last 10 years, Johnson says it has been a dream to put on a show like this in Eastern Kentucky adding the importance of mountain women. And one of the most unique things about Appalachian culture is our ability to tell stories and we do it really well and it's a part of who we are. And it was just always such a great dream of mine that Appalachian women, mountain women of Eastern Kentucky could tell their stories. And I knew one day it would happen and it was just the absolute perfect time and I was really fortunate to be supported by the Kentucky Foundation of Women. With support from KFW proceeds from the show will go towards the organization Turning Point Domestic Violence Services. Johnson says she hopes the show sparks change. And people have asked me is like oh is this just for women or men have asked me or we welcome here and the answer is absolutely yes. We can't have a conversation unless everybody's represented. So we want to open that conversation and absolutely we want this show to spark change but also we want people to just come out and have a really great evening here in Prestonsburg. It is such an incredible show. The show will be performed at the Gearhart Auditorium in Prestonsburg February 10th at 7.30pm. For tickets you can visit inventany.com keyword vagina monologues.
