COEUR d'ALENE - Frank talk about the female physique and much more is coming to the North Idaho College campus.

"The Vagina Monologues," written by Eve Ensler, will be performed at 7 p.m. Feb. 14 and 15, and at 2 p.m. Feb. 16 in the Lake Coeur d'Alene Room of the Edminster Student Union Building. It is a 90-minute play comprising a dozen monologues and facts.

"It is about feeling empowered in a skin and an anatomy that is taboo to mention in public," production organizer Jamie Sebby told The Press. "It's about embracing yourself as a unique and beautiful individual as well as to envelope yourself in a community of other women with shared experience and sympathy."

Sebby, of Coeur d'Alene, said she is organizing "Monologues" because of her involvement with the show and other events put on by the Women's Center at Boise State University when she attended.

"I never got over the emotional attachment I have to the cause and the flood of support that comes from the community," she said. "I studied politics and American government, and what I've always wanted to do with that is effect change in the things that are more important to me: namely, equality and human rights. A woman walking safely down the street in any country is a basic human right."

"Monologues" was designed to explore the sexual liberation of women in the 1990s and was originally performed by one woman. It stars Amee Newell, Shea McHugh, Brook Bassett, Sabina Milbrath, Kayla Hitchcock, Ariel Ocker, Jenner Davis, Lisa Miller, Diana Smith, Diana Bailey and Jessica Anthony.

"It's a really fun, relatable show," Sebby said. "There is not one person who would walk out of the theater, regretting the decision to spend 90 minutes and $10 with us."

Proceeds from this production will benefit the North Idaho Prevention Center. On performance nights, raffle tickets and T-shirts will be sold to raise funds and awareness for NIVPC and V-Day, a global campaign that aids in promoting awareness, education and shelter for the victimized. Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for students. Info: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/516277
