The Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues are an iconic feminist creation written by Eve Ensler, and they are exactly that: monologues about vaginas. Written in 1996, The Vagina Monologues use humor, resilience, and raw honesty to explore the challenging realities of being a woman. This humbling, powerful, and deeply human experience is not to be missed! Firebird Theatre is producing this wonderful night of funny, poignant, and thought-provoking theatre to raise funds for Project Hope of Gunnison Valley! Project Hope’s mission is to support, educate and provide confidential advocacy to individuals affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and/or human trafficking.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
