WIN 2 TICKETS To "Swimming Upstream" In New Orleans or New York!


08/24/2010

V-Day is giving away tickets to upcoming NYC and New Orleans shows of Swimming Upstream! Five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf South, Swimming Upstream is a stunning performance telling stories of the storm and those who survived. Facilitated by Eve Ensler and AsheCultural Arts Center's Executive Director and Founder Carol Bebelle, Swimming Upstream has been hailed by Variety as a "work of power and poetry".

Written by 16 New Orleans women, the performance premiered in April 2008 at V-Day's "V To The Tenth"celebration and enjoyed a subsequent sold-out run in Atlanta in November 2008. Swimming Upstream is a powerful theatrical production that tells the raw and soulful stories of women who lived through the flood with grace, rage and great resiliency, punctuated by a flair for storytelling, humor and music that comes from being New Orleanian.

Now you have a chance to win 2 tickets to one of the limited performances in New Orleans or New York!
