A fearless and resonant new staging of The Vagina Monologues by V (formerly Eve Ensler) is set to take centre stage at Tuggerah’s Red Tree Theatre from June 27-July 5.
The trailblazing work continues to resonate in 2025, as conversations around gender equality, bodily autonomy, and gender-based violence remain urgent.
With courage, wit, and compassion, The Vagina Monologues gives voice to women’s diverse experiences, from hilarious confessions to heart-wrenching truths.
The production is directed by Kathryn Peterson and features an all-female creative team and cast.
Bringing V’s words to life are Buggy Andrews, Cheryl Andrews, Sally Bartley, Lennore Elliott, Tina Findlay, Nicky Grant, Fiona Kelly, Rhiannon Power, Jacs Roy, Jo Vandyke and Fleur Melody.
“The stories we tell in this show are still happening—still being lived,” cast member Nicky Grant said.
“It’s both confronting and empowering to speak these words aloud, knowing that someone in the audience might finally feel seen.”
Peterson said the play is as vital now as it was when it first premiered.
“It challenges silence, celebrates resilience, and opens the door to connection and healing,” she said.
The Vagina Monologues is more than a play—it’s a movement.
Red Tree Theatre’s production invites audiences to bear witness, laugh, cry, and reflect on what it means to listen – really listen – to women’s voices.
It contains strong language and addresses themes including sexual violence, abuse, trauma, and identity.
There will be seven performances from June 27-July 5 at Red Tree Theatre, 160–162 Pacific Hwy, Tuggerah.
