Andrea Bertola ’03 directed an all-female production of The Vagina Monologues in February 2013, which marked the 15th anniversary of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. On February 18 and 19, her sold-out V-Day benefit production was produced at HERE Arts Center in New York City, where the award-winning play was first produced.
