(11/6/09) SLU is among Catholic institutions that once hosted the play, but have since banned it.
Responding to Saint Louis University’s ban on the vile play The Vagina Monologues, a student club will no longer present the play even off campus, The University News reports. Una, a group described as “the feminine voice on campus” at Saint Louis University (SLU), a Jesuit Catholic institution of higher education, is reportedly creating a new production entitled The SLU Monologues. A student leader of Una told the campus newspaper that The SLU Monologues will present stories collected from SLU students and staff on campus “in the spirit of The Vagina Monologues.” The V-Monologues is a controversial play that, among other vulgarities, describes the lesbian seduction of a teenage victim as her “salvation” that “raised her into a kind of heaven.” Saint Louis University is among Catholic institutions that once hosted productions of the play but have since decided to ban it from campus. The report also notes that The SLU Monologues has yet to be approved for campus performances. "Vagina Monologues [is a] good show for its purpose. But it's not the end-all, be-all to end violence against women," a student leader of Una said, according to The University News. Source: The University News
