CELEBRATE VAGINAS FOR VALENTINES
Local Production “Read Our Lips” Raises Money for Mending Hearts

Valentine's Day is quickly becoming a time to think, talk, and share about vaginas. This year, Nashville has its own amateur production “Read Our Lips” to celebrate the topic.


The two hour show will explore Nashville's thoughts, feelings, and experiences of vaginas, addressing topics like creation and motherhood, gender roles, pleasure, pain, menstruation, becoming a woman, growing older, and many more. All pieces are original and written by the cast, which includes women, men and transgendered persons.

The show is a fundraiser for Mending Hearts, a local transitional living facility and safe haven for women. Mending Hearts is located in West Nashville, and is home to almost 40 women at risk of becoming homeless due to addiction. More information and their wish list is available here.

Trina Frierson, Executive Director of Mending Hearts, says, "Every day a woman stays at Mending Hearts is another day that she learns a lesson about respecting herself, her body and those around her."

”Read Our Lips” performances will be Friday, Feburary 15th at 7:00 at Café OutlLoud, Saturday, February 16th at 7:00 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, and a final matinee performance on Sunday, February 17th at 2:00 pm at Café OutLoud. Tickets are a special donation of $10 to Mending Hearts, cash and check accepted. Reservations: 615-945-2856 or ReadOurLipsNashville@gmail.com.

If you would like more information about this show, or to schedule an interview with the director, please call Magda Oakewoman at 945-2856, email ReadOurLipsNashville@gmail.com.
