Author Eve Ensler wrote a series monologues after talking to hundreds of women from all ages and ethnicities. Her subjects included a Long Island, N.Y., antiques dealer and a Bosnian refugee. "The Vagina Monologues" has had a lengthy run in New York City, where it has been performed by revolving trios of actresses and other famous women. The New York Times called it "a bona fide phenomenon," while Entertainment Weekly dubbed it " alternately funny, poetic and provocative."The Iowa State performance of "The Vagina Monologues" will feature Shirley Dunlap, associate professor of theater and director of ISU World Theatre Workshop; Sine Anahita, graduate student in sociology; LaTia McPherson, a freshman in psychology; M. Evelina Galang, assistant professor of English; Abby Hansen, a junior in liberal studies (curriculum); Fern Kupfer, associate professor of english; Carlie Tartakov, professor of curriculum and instruction; Vika Russell, a senior in biology; and Alissa Stoehr, a senior in political science.
