Eve Ensler, renowned for her pioneering work The Vagina Monologues, performed in Any One of Us: Words From Prison, Miami on October 18, 2007.

Presented by ArtSpring & Women's Fund of Miami-Dade
this evening of theater was filled with powerful and honest writings by women in prison that revealed the connection between incarceration and the violence that often brings them there. 

Any One of Us was conceived by Eve Ensler, staged and directed by ArtSpring founder and director Leslie Neal and
featuried songs written and performed by acclaimed songwriter
Amy Carol Webb.

Thank you to the performers, volunteers, staff and audience who helped make this event a success.

Proceeds from this event will be used to: 

£ Produce an anthology of writings by incarcerated women participating in the Bridging the Gap Writing Workshop. The anthology will be distributed to adolescent girls in detention and to at-risk girls as a tool for intervention and education;

£ Support Women’s Fund of Miami-Dade grants to programs that prevent at-risk girls from entering the juvenile justice system and that reduce recidivism of girls in detention;

£ Fund ArtSpring’s Inside Out expressive arts workshops for incarcerated women and Breaking Free workshops for at-risk adolescent girls.

£ Support V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day was inspired by Eve Ensler’s experiences while creating The Vagina Monologues.
