The event, benefiting the Urban Arts Partnership, featured monologues written and performed by Olivia Wilde, Rashida Jones, Zosia Mamet, Aubrey Plaza, Lauren Miller, Leandra Medine and Ari Graynor, and a musical performance by comedy duo Garfunkel & Oates. The show was directed by actress and comedian Kathy Najimy and brought out a crowd of influential women, including actresses Amy Poehler (who treated the audience to a rousing rendition of Katy Perry's "Firework" at the end of the show), Connie Britton, Carla Gugino and America Ferrara.
Each monologue tackled a different aspect of what it means to be a young woman. Rashida Jones performed first. "Men haven't had a revolution since the Industrial one," she said, railing against the often frustrating role that technology plays in relationships between men and women. We learned that she is adamantly against "winky smiles" because "how unsexy does semicolon bracket sound?" and wishes that people knew how to pick up the phone. "Just call us, OK?" she implored. "Even to break up with us."
