SFist Tonight

V-Day San Francisco 2007: Filipina Women Against Violence: Times like this make us wish we learned to speak Tagalog as a kid, instead of just laughing at our Filipino mom every time she swears in her native tongue. (We don't actually laugh at her; we just assume it's bad and flee to the next room.)

Thankfully, we understand enough Tagalog to get excited about Filipina Women's Network's V-Day performance of Usaping Puki, the Tagalog version of Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning The Vagina Monologues tonight at 7:30pm at Herbst Theatre in San Francisco.

Featuring an all-Filipina cast that includes actors, activists, writers, students, housewives, and businesswomen, the proceeds from Usaping Puki go to Filipinas Against Violence, My Sister's House, V-Day Spotlight 2007: Women in Conflict Zones, and Filipino American Human Services Inc (FAHSI).

For tickets, go to the City Box Office website or call 415.392.4400.
