Women of Color HERStory Month 2010

I'm sure many of us are suffering from severe cabin fever this week, after what seems like endless snowfall and a serious shortage of snow plows. Well, we've got a few suggestions to end your boredom and get you outside of your home for a couple of nights.

In addition to Love of Friends this weekend (I couldn't help myself, I had to plug it again), New Voices Pittsburgh: Women of Color for Reproductive Justice will be launching a month-long celebration of Women of Color HERStory Month.

First up are two performances of The Vagina Monologues at University of Pittsburgh, David Lawrence Hall, February 12th and 13th at 8pm.Tickets are $10 at the door with all proceeds benefiting New Voices Pittsburgh. If you've never seen it, you need to go. If you have seen it, you know that once isn't enough.

NVP will also be accepting a Pittsburgh City Council Proclamation from Councilman Daniel Lavelle for Women of Color HERStory Month 2010. Join NVP and have a chance to check out the Black History Month exhibit in the lobby, History in the Making: Honoring Our Young African-American Leaders of Today. This event is Tuesday, February 16th at City Council Chambers, City-County Building, 414 Grant Street, 5th Floor.

And finally on February 25th, NVP is hosting the Opening Performance of Lenelle Moise's "In Womb-Words, Thirsting" and the New Voices Awards at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. For tickets go here.
