V Day Oliver-Osoyoos & the 2015 Play

In the Winter with encouragement from a Co-Star from Nunset Boulevard I ended up auditioning for and becoming a part of the 2015 Cast of the Vagina Monologues. It was also my initial introduction to the group V Day Oliver-Osoyoos . I was very much warmly welcomed to both the Monologues and the group and would find a great source of Support, encouragement, inspiration, and empowerment from these two combined forces as well. I soon became an active member within the group including my time helped out the annual 1 billion rising Art Show. 

I truly believe in the group and that which in stands for and believes in. "V Day dreams of a world where women and girls will be free to thrive rather than just survive." V Day is a global movement to Raise awareness about issues women and young girls face in society today, in particular the violence still happens daily against Women and girls. V Day encourages events that use Art and the power of women in a community to rise together and work towards a common goal ENDING ALL VIOLENCE against Women. 

The reason why I originally choose to audition for the Vagina Monologues was initially to continue to challenge myself and grow as an Actress. It would be my first play since 2010 where it more centralized around Drama more than comedy. I wanted to push myself outside of my acting comfort zone. Soon after I learned more about V Day and it's prinicpals I couldn't have been more happy to have chosen to become a part of this group and represent all that it stands for. I found such an accepting, encouraging, empathetic, and inspiring group of women to surround myself with as part of the cast and just a great group of people in general when it comes to the dedicated group of people that make up the V Day Oliver-Osoyoos Group (Facebook page) . We as a cast have been working so very hard in our efforts towards the production this year. Our cast features over 15 different women from around the South Okanagan. 

Now this group is highly supportive of both the Osoyoos Royalty Program , The Oliver Ambassador Program  and the British Columbia Ambassador Program  and have extended an invitation to myself - Chelsea Cameron-Horner: British Columbia Ambassador Candidate 2015 and Viveka Jensen-BC Ambassador Candidate 2015 to attend the Vagina Monologues and set up a table in the foyer of the Mini Theatre where we can welcome people as well as introduce ourselves and promote the British Columbia Ambassador Program.  Also since giving back to our community is so important to both viveka and myself, we have decided to make a donation to V Day Oliver - Osoyoos using some of the money we raised during our Osoyoos Easter Extravaganza Fundraiser. 

I would truly encourage everyone who is able to come out and see one of our Performances of the Vagina Monologues. We will be performing both today, Friday April 10th, and tomorrow, Saturday April 11th at 7 p.m at the Osoyoos Secondary School Mini Theatre. Tickets will be available for $20.00 at the door. Money raised during our performances this evening and tomorrow evening will benefit local charities that serve women in the Southern Okanagan, so money raised will truly be going to great causes! Thank you to everyone for your support and I hope to see you at tonight or tomorrow night's show! 

V-Day Mission Statement (From the  V Day Site)

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.

V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely.

V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now.

V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.

V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world.

V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops.

V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence.

V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us!
