Mount Clemens, Mich.—February 17, 2025— Turning Point, an agency whose mission is to empower domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking survivors through comprehensive services and resources, is pleased to host The Vagina Monologues on March 7 at the Emerald Theatre in downtown Mount Clemens. This marks the fifth year Turning Point is hosting the popular event and the second consecutive year the performance will be held during Women’s History Month.
“We are pleased that hosting The Vagina Monologues has become a tradition in our community,” Sharman Davenport, Ph.D., President and CEO of Turning Point, said. “This is an evening for everyone; we all know someone who has been impacted by the scenes presented in the play. It takes education and effort from all of us to end domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. The performance is both powerful and moving, while also entertaining and fun for the audience.”
The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written in 1996 by V (formerly Eve Ensler) in response to her passion to end gender-based violence. The performance involves community members who support Turning Point’s mission and is based on real-life stories that explore several topics through the perspectives of women of different ages, races, sexualities, and backgrounds. These stories aim to raise awareness, give voice to the voiceless, and show others they are not alone.
General admission tickets for the event are $35 each; opera boxes with four seats are available for $200; and tables of eight are available for purchase for $245. All proceeds directly benefit Turning Point. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m. This event is for adults aged 18 and older. The Emerald Theatre is located at 31 N. Walnut Street in Mount Clemens, Michigan. More information and tickets can be found here.
