Cal Poly Pomona students perform play to promote end to violence against women, girls

POMONA - There's still time to catch performances of the play "The Vagina Monologues" at Cal Poly Pomona.

A performance in English will be offered Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Ursa Major suite of the University's Bronco Student Union. A performance in Spanish will be offered at the same time and place on Feb. 13.

The university is located at 3801 W. Temple Ave., Pomona.

The student production is organized every year as Valentine's Day approaches to raise awareness about violence prevention against women and girls locally and around the world. The performances also help raise funds for Cal Poly's Violence Prevention & Women's Resource Center, the Cesar E. Chavez Center for Higher Education and the V-Day campaign, according to a university statement.

V-Day is a world-wide campaign to stop violence against women and girls. As part of this year's V-Day campaign Cal Poly has dedicated its activities to calling attention to violence against women and girls in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the statement said.

Tickets to the Cal Poly performances of the "Vagina Monologues" are $15 for general admission and $10 for students.
