The Vagina Monologues

I recently went and watched the production of the Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler at the Backdoor Playhouse at Tennessee Tech.  I had read the play prior to watching it and I was not all that thrilled about going.  After the play got going I could tell it wasn’t going to be as bad as I thought it would.  It was actually turned out to be quite funny at times.  My favorite part throughout the whole play was the dancing.  I think it really added a lot so there wasn’t  people standing around talking throughout the play.  Another favorite of mine was the Say and Wear scene.  I thought it was quite hilarious, and again, the dancers made the scene. Without them it wouldn’t have been near funny.  There was however a couple scenes in the play that I didn’t quite understand how they tied into the rest of the play.  It kind of confused me and lost my attention.  One actress that really stood out was Elizabeth Ayers.  I have watched a few plays with her and they are quite hilarious.  She always delivers a good play.  Although, I feel at times she can take things over the top, overall she was my favorite throughout the play.

Overall, I really liked the play.  It wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be.  The play could have been a lot more boring but I really like how the director made it interesting and fun with all the dancing and the fun, cool music.  I thought she did a fantastic job on directing this play.  I would definitely go to another play sometime that she directs.  This is not a play that I personally would want to attend year after year, but maybe once every few years.  I would definitely recommend this play to anyone.  It was something very fun and very different  people have never seen before.
