If you ask Anna Facci what she’s passionate about, she’ll give you a thorough (and easy to understand) explanation of what Intersectional Feminism is. In simple terms, its inclusivity based feminism, the belief that equality isn’t just for a select group of women, but for every woman. While feminism can be seen as a hot topic right now, that isn’t keeping Anna from standing up for what she believes in. She’s outspoken and confident and well informed on the issues that she cares about.
Right now, she’s on her fourth round of director of Oklahoma State University’s version of The Vagina Monologues (performances this Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
When I asked her about how it has been directing the show, she replied, “The last two years have been the best, honestly. I shifted the focus of the rehearsals from the actual performance to more friendship and community based and it made the show so much more fun.”
Being in the show myself this year, I can vouch for the fun of it. Each rehearsal is such a unique pressure/judgment free environment (something that I think each of us can use a little more of).
The Vagina Monologues has shows at 7pm February 13, 5:30 pm February 14, and 2 pm on February 15, all at the OSU Student Union Theater
