Based on author�Eve Ensler's�interviews, which she conducted with women and girls from around the world,�"The�Vagina Monologues"�is a provocative, stimulating, poignant play depicting true stories about women's attempts to overcome society's stigmas through embracing and celebrating their sexuality.

You'll be moved to tears and laughter, energized and inspired, motivated to make a difference, and ready to take action to stop the violence now! We are proud to announce that in addition to benefiting�V-Day,�proceeds will go to�Planned Parenthood and�St. Johns Transgender Health Program.

2017 is V-Day Studio City's fourth year�appearing�at The Federal Bar. This stylish nightclub, in a classic early-20th-century bank building, has a charming cozy ambience, perfect for delighting in fabulous fare, while enjoying superb entertainment.

The small but mighty�Solters�produces�the eye-opening, hysterical, heart-wrenching piece, for the tenth consecutive year.�Solters co-stars with�Allie Altschuler, Adolfo Anderson, Michelle Appezzato, Jay Etimoski, Debra Graff, Julienne Irons, Lauren Rodriguez, Nan Savage, Emily Short, and Andrew Watie.

A highlight of the evening is the acclaimed�"fake orgasm contest," which always brings the audience to their feet roaring with guffaws.� Winners receive exciting erotic prizes.� Gift bags will be raffled with sex toys donated by�sponsors LELO, A Touch of Romance,�Crave, and Babeland.

Guests can enjoy the scrumptious infamous�Chocolate Vagina Pussypops.�Back by popular demand, the remarkable sterling�Silver�Vagina�Necklaces,�handcrafted with love by cast member Emily Short, will be available for purchase.

Since becoming part of V-Day,�Maxie Solters�has discovered an inner strength and confidence.

"Being surrounded by strong leaders has given me quite the backbone. And I am definitely not shy about sex. I've become the go to person for all my friends' needs in that department," said Solters. "People literally associate me with�'The Vagina Monologues'�and�V-Day�to a point where I've heard myself referenced as the 'vagina girl.'"

Solters' involvement in the organization has taught her not to fear speaking out even if others shy away.

"It reminds me how lucky I am to be able to talk about these issues while others across the globe are forced into silent. The movement encourages women to speak out, proving we really can make a difference," she said.

Rather than waiting around for someone else to give you a big break, Solters advises aspiring artists to be proactive. She suggests, "Create your own content. Do a play, a podcast, make a web-series, star in a short film... whatever fuels your creativity and gives you fulfillment at the end of the day."
