“A collective story is very powerful, especially for the feminist movement and for women to be out there and tell their stories,” the play's director Amy Quichiz said.

Twenty-five people performed various skits from the episodic play "The Vagina Monologues" Friday night in Hendricks Chapel to talk about women’s often-taboo experiences, from gender violence to positive sexual experiences. 

Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment produce the play every spring semester to promote self-love and raise public’s attention to misogyny, according to the student organization’s bio.

The cast of this year's performances was split in two to emphasize the individuality of the monologues.

The monologues are the same, but the performances are uniquely their own.

The Vagina Monologues was performed four times at Syracuse University this year as usual. But this year there were two different casts with a total of 34 performers.

The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written in 1996 featuring a varying number of monologues about female empowerment. College students across the nation put on The Vaginas Monologues as annual benefit performances to help survivors of domestic violence and raise awareness.
