As a global movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler's award winning play The Vagina Monologues. 2008 marks the monologues 10 year anniversary and with it Chestertown's 3rd Annual production.

MISS WITHERSPOON By Christopher Durang

8pm

FREE - Donations welcome!

 

Things are a little stressful in Veronica's afterlife. Depressed about the state of the world and her place in it, she kills herself, only to find that death is not much more relaxing. Sent back to earth to be reborn and try again, she tries resisting, but her afterlife guides aren't having any of it-the universe has a job for her, she has a lesson to learn, and she's going to do it, like it or not. Veronica- or Miss Witherspoon, as her guide nicknames her- discovers there's more to this life thing than she may have realized.
