Vagina Monologues (temporary placeholder content)

On Saturday March 14th, RCN's Feminist Club hosted its own staging of The Vagina Monologues — and if you weren't there, you missed something worth talking about.

The original play was written in 1996 by Eve Ensler as a celebration of womanhood. It sparked a global movement against gender-based violence and remains one of the most performed works in the world. The RCN version took that spirit and made it its own.

Rather than staging the original script, Feminist Club opened the floor to the entire RCN community. Students performed original pieces — poetry, monologues, songs, dance, stand-up comedy — on anything connected to feminism. Consent, body positivity, gender roles, toxic masculinity, the women who shaped them. Some performed alone. Some came up in groups. The only rule was honesty.

That openness is what made it work. The Vagina Monologues at RCN is less a theatre production than a community act — a space where expressing the experience of womanhood through performance becomes, for one night, entirely normal.

The event was organized by the Feminist Club and open to all members of the RCN community.
