Tiffany Pollard aka “New York” just landed a role in the all-black Atlanta production of The Vagina Monologues. “I’m very excited. It’s a great piece and a great thing to be a part of,” New York told EUR’s Lee Bailey in an interview on Tuesday. “Just to be able to take part in this is a really big deal to me.”

The production was written to raise awareness on the impact of violence and abuse towards women. “It’s more of a personal stake in this,” she said. “I’m a woman and I come from a family with a large number of women in it and I heard all the stories of boyfriends cheating, of guys being verbally abusive and I myself, unfortunately, had a few guys verbally abuse me. I just want to be there and lend my voice and take part in this. It’s a celebration for women and we need to be liberated every day. So I’m definitely excited to be a part of the ‘Vagina Monologues’. It’s an important thing for me to do”, New York revealed.

The tour also features Ella Joyce (“Roc,” “Set It Off”), SWV’s Taj Johnson George, Yvette Wilson (“Moesha,” “The Parkers”), and Wendy Raquel Robinson (“The Game,” “Steve Harvey Show,”), and former“Flavor of Love” star London “Deelishis” Charles. Oh goodness!

The play will feature an all African American cast in Washington, DC on Friday-Saturday, February 6&7, 2009, Dallas, TX on Saturday, March 7, 2009, in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, March 21, 2009, and in Atlanta on April 4.
