Linfield Theatre: "The Vagina Monologues" staged reading
Published in over 48 languages, performed in over 140 countries and recently heralded by The New York Times as one of the most important plays of the past 25 years, Eve Ensler’s hilarious, eye–opening The Vagina Monologues is a tour into the last frontier, the forbidden zone at the heart of every woman. A show that’s rocked audiences around the world, this groundbreaking piece gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, and thoroughly human stories, transforming the question mark hovering over the anatomy into a permanent victory sign.
On Friday, February 13, the Linfield Theatre Program, with help from Linfield students and faculty, community members and Linfield alumna will present a staged reading of the play with proceeds benefiting Henderson House, Yamhill County’s domestic violence shelter that provides support and services for victims of domestic and sexual violence. The reading will begin at 7 p.m. in the Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium in Melrose Hall on the McMinnville campus.

Linfield Theatre Second Stage Productions: "The K of D"
The Linfield Theatre Program presents The K of D in the Ford Hall lobby at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 27 and Saturday, Feb. 28. Directed by senior Theatre Arts and Music major David Stephens, The K of D follows the story of Charlotte McGraw, a young girl struggling to come to terms with the death of her twin brother, Jamie. It also follows the growing "legend" of Charlotte, as narrated by the other youth in her small town. As with all great legends, truth and fiction become inextricably linked in this story. The truth is that Charlotte's brother was hit by a car and died in her arms. The truth is that moments before he died, he kissed her, gently, on the lips. The legend is that everything Charlotte kissed from that moment forward also died. The K of D begins upon the discovery of her new "skill" and tracks the events that transpire when the man who killed her brother returns to town and Charlotte and her friends attempt to get rid of him. The story purposely blurs the line between fact and fiction.…
