Cincinnati, OH, August 7, 2017:  THE GOOD BODY, 90-minute one-act play written by “The  Vagina Monologue” creator, Eve Ensler, is being presented by Cincinnati’s new Woman-Positive theatre group, Equality Productions.

The play is being sponsored by The Irish Heritage Center Theatre at The Irish Center, 3905 Eastern Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45226 on Saturday, August 12th, at 8PM, and on Sunday, August 13th, at 2PM. After the play, the audience is invited to meet with the cast and directors in the Center’s Irish Pub for questions and conversation about encouraging women’s strengths and presence in our individual and collective lives.

Attendees are encouraged to pre-order tickets one of two ways – by calling the Irish Center at 510-533-0100, or by going online to www.cincyticket.com/thegoodbody. There is a charge for online ticket ordering.

THE GOOD BODY is a humorous, truthful, moving and transformational exploration of our intimate, confused, too-often self-punishing relationships with our bodies and ourselves. Not appropriate for those under 18 years of age.

Equality Productions is the brainchild of local theatre actor/director, Richard Zenk. For THE GOOD BODY, Richard has brought Clare “CG” Gray on as co-Director of the ensemble piece.

Seasoned local actresses bring their talents to THE GOOD BODY: Peggy Allen (playing Eve Ensler), Amanda Borchers, Narisa Cole, Victoria Garcia, CG Gray, Lori Kirstein, Jessica Moore, and Maureen Kennedy, who is also a co-founder of the Irish Center.
