Next February, the crusade takes us to Madison Square Garden for V-Day 2001, a huge, all-star, day-long extravaganza and call to action for which Jane Fonda will make a triumphant return to the stage. The V-Day edition of The Vagina Monologues includes three new monologues, a new preface by Eve, and heartbreaking testimonials from young women around the country.

February will also see the opening of Necessary Targets, Eve Ensler's groundbreaking new play about women and war. Necessary Targets is the story of two American women, a Park Avenue psychiatrist and a human-rights worker, who go to Bosnia to help women refugees confront their memories of war and emerge deeply changed themselves. It has been read in New York by Meryl Streep, Anjelica Huston, and Calista Flockhart and was performed in Sarajevo with Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei. It will open its New York run with a similar all-star cast.
