BROOKLYN COMMITTEE is proud to present
Brooklyn V-Day 2005

A Production of Eve Ensler's THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE WOMEN, RAISE AWARENESS AND ENVISION A WORLD WITHOUT VIOLENCE.

"A compelling rhapsody of the female essence. . . . Ultimately Ensler achieves something extraordinary."
- Chicago Tribune

"By the end of the show, the audience has moved from slightly embarrassed to highly engaged, sometimes enraged, and ultimately enlarged. They leave understanding that a woman is more that the sum of her parts, but if some of her parts are unmentionable, she is diminished" - O Magazine

"Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving . . . it is both a work of art and an incisive piece of cultural history, a poem and a polemic, a performance and a balm and a benediction." -Variety

V-DAY IS A GLOBAL MOVEMENT TO STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS. FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT V-DAY CAN BE FOUND AT: http://pages.ivillage.com/vdaybrooklyn/ AND WWW.VDAY.ORG.

THE HAZZARDS MAKE-OUT PARTY
music and comedy

With Matt Hall + Patrick Borrelli
+ Big Boote

New York's baddest ukelele-strumming duo host a monthly Galapagos extravaganza. http://www.ukesofhazzard.com

Patrick Borelli is a writer and comedian living in New York City. He has performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Comedy Central's Premium Blend. He's also an excellent street hockey player/skyfighter. http://www.patrickborelli.com

Matt Hall is also a comedian living in New York City as well as an excellent street hockey player/skyfighter. He is awesome at the drum machine.

Bigbooté has existed as a modernist music force for over 10 years, arising from the cultural tarpit of Cortland, NY. Punk rock based on hearsay, a belief in NEW rockenroll, and a conviction that comes out in literal sweat, blood and tears. High-energy garage annihilation from coulda-been dead-end small-towners, relocated to the epicenter of enemy territory: hipster central: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. No white belts, no Strokes haircuts, no faux-hawks. Just broken jaws, broken guitar strings, and broken hearts. Bigbooté! Get up and dance or get outta the way!
