Catholic students, parents, and alumni are hoping the lewd play, The V-Monologues, does not once again dishonor the oldest Catholic university in America: Georgetown.

The play is scheduled on Saturday, February 11, at the Davis Performing Arts Center Devine Studio Theatre, clashing with the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes celebrated the same day.
It is no secret that Eve Ensler, the play’s author, supports radical feminism and abortion, or the “right to safe abortions,” as she puts it in a letter to the editor published by The New York Times (Abortion is never safe). She also received awards from LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) centers and Planned Parenthood in 2004 and 2006.
If the play is not canceled, students will be invited to see a production full of inappropriate and explicit discussions of sexuality and sexual encounters, including lesbian activity and masturbation.
“This filthy play is much more than an isolated comedy,” commented TFP Student Action Director John Ritchie. “It’s being used as a feminist, pro-abortion flagship – like a battering ram – to destroy decency, modesty and morality on college campuses. And we must oppose it wherever it rears its ugly head, especially now when the Department of Health and Human Services is attempting to bully the Church into providing for sterilization, abortifacients and contraception.”

This is how one student described the play: “It was a horrible exhibit of vice, lust, and infidelity. Everything about the play was decidedly opposed to everything the Church teaches on abortion, contraception, holy matrimony, modesty, chastity, vulgarity, humility, and reverence.”
Over the years, dozens of Catholic colleges and universities have canceled The V-Monologues play due to its indecent, immoral and sinful content. Therefore, TFP Student Action is asking its 60,000 members to contact the president of Georgetown University, Dr. John J. DeGioia, urging him to cancel the play and thus uphold the institution’s Catholic identity.
The play does not jive with Georgetown University’s Identity and Mission statement, which in part reads: “The ideals and principles that have characterized Jesuit education for over 450 years are central to Georgetown’s mission and character.” To remain true to its Catholic heritage, Georgetown should cancel the show.
Contact Georgetown with your concern. Please be firm, polite and respectful.
