The Vagina Monologues
started in the basement of a cafe
in downtown NYC. Fifteen
years later on February 14th
2009 it has been brought to us
at Brevard College thanks to
Lynne Warner from Heart of
Brevard, as well as 13 of our
fellow students.
I thought the Vagina
Monologue was a fantastic
performance, with women’s
moving, 1 was deeply disturbed it a personalTty and emotion
great emotion. Even though the by some of the topics discussed. (such as temper).
These topics
-(k
included were
rape, violence,
and disease.
However,
the rest of the
play made
me want to
laugh out
loud because
of the actor’s
humorous
metaphors for
menstruating
and how they
portrayals were emotional and personified their vagina, giving

Knowing that I was only
there to photograph the dress
rehearsal, I was quite skeptical
about sitting in an audience of
three, of which I was the only
guy (other then the ones in
the sound booth) listening to
13 women talking about their
vaginas!
Though I never thought
women talking about their
vaginas for 90 minutes could
be entertaining, it left me
wanting more. In summary,
this is definitely a show for the
parents! Good job ladies!

While hiking in the vast Pisgah National Forest wilderness,
photographer Marc Newton came across a relic of America past
hunting bear for his next animal skin vest. While this hunstmen
failed in his quest for bear, he did succeed in catching an oddly
colored squirrel (it appeared to be white!) and used its pelt to keep
warm during the cold winter of the North Carolina mountains.

EURYDICE (Yur-ri-dissee)
has opened already in The
Morrison Playhouse in the
Porter Center, and will have two
more performances this evening
and Saturday evening.
EURYDICE is a
compellingly postmodern re-
imagining of the Greek myth
of Orpheus and Eurydice that
has been scrupulously worked
on by both a talented cast and
crew. Read next week’s issue
of the Clarion for the upcoming
review.
It’s a bit late in the game if
you haven’t purchased your
tickets already, but if you’re
a student they’re only $2, so
I’d say it’s worth the shot to
call the Box Office (828-884-
8330) and see if you can buy
one of the remaining tickets for
tonight, the 26th, or tomorrow,
the 27th.
The cast of EURYDICE
includes Caitlin Kennedy,
Adrian Wagner, Charles
Yarbrough, Kara Ontiveros,
Christie Bethard, Bethany
Tebo, and Brian Randall.
Above: Brian Randall, Charles Yarbrough, and Caitlin
Kennedy star in Eurydice. Tickets are still available
at the Porter Center Box Office and the play has two
performances left: tonight and tomorrow night.
