The City Different

Just your usual Santa Fe crowd —

Eve Ensler, the founder of a worldwide movement to end violence against women and girls, welcomed three local men to the stage Sunday evening at St. Francis Auditorium for readings from a new collection of monologues by Ensler’s author friends titled A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer.

“The time has come for men to stand with us in the struggle to end violence against women,” Ensler told a mostly female, standing-room-only crowd.

Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a new Santa Fe resident, actor Val Kilmer and actor/writer/cartoonist Jonathan Richards joined Wilson’s wife and former CIA undercover agent Valerie Plame, radio host Mary-Charlotte Domandi, actresses Jane Fonda and Ali MacGraw, activist Cynthia Ruffin and Ensler in reading pieces from the new book.
