7. "THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS" FREE SCREENING @ ESQUIRE 4.19!!!!

After years of humiliation and failed attempts to win the coveted Pirate of the Year Award, Pirate Captain and his oddball crew take on the cream of the pirating crop - Black Bellamy, Peg Leg Hastings and Cutlass Liz - in a race to pillage the most booty. They soon cross paths with lovelorn scientist Charles Darwin, who persuades the Captain that the crew's prized 'parrot', Polly, could be the answer to the 'untold riches' they are searching for. Their adventure takes them to Victorian London where they meet Darwin's sidekick 'man-panzee' Mister Bobo, and the notorious pirate-hating Queen Victoria herself. It soon unfolds that Darwin's motives for helping the crew are not what they seem, and the Queen has an evil hidden agenda of her own. The Pirate Captain must choose between basking in the glory of being crowned Pirate of the Year, or staying faithful to his trusted crew.

3. Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues is a play written by Eve Ensler to empower and honor women and promote awareness about violence against women and girls. What began as a one-woman Off-Broadway play in1996 expanded to a global activist movement, V-Day, which has raised over $80 million for anti-sexual assault and violence groups, from local rape crisis centers to international campaigns. More than this, the Monologues have given a voice to women who have experienced violence.

Join us for the performances of the Monologues at WashU to bear witness to stories based on true testimonies, performed and heard around the world. You don't have to identify as an activist or a feminist to create change and help create a culture that is safer for women. By listening to the Monologues, you can be a part of something real and powerful--you can support the anti-violence movement and make our culture--locally and globally--more open-minded and nonviolent.

Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/309214519124286/ to learn more! The show is approximately 90 minutes long with no intermission."
