Catch The Vagina Monologues, the annual theatrical celebration of womanhood, tomorrow at 8 p.m. Meet producer Rachel Garber and director Jess Gartner, the two seniors who make it all happen.

Street: When you’re not celebrating womanhood, you’re most likely...
JG: Planning my next crazy adventure. I especially enjoy activities that defy gravity and/or reason, like bungee-jumping, sky-diving, mountain-climbing. At some point I’d love to bike across the U.S. and camp out in all the national parks along the way.
RG: Making kick-ass baby-making a capella with The Penny Loafers.

Street: What is your favorite woman’s liberation song?
JG: "Fuck Her Gently" by Tenacious D
RG: "Single Ladies" by Beyonce

Street: What’s a better gift, chocolate or sex?
JG: Not enough information. My answer would depend entirely on the relative quality of said gifts. Also, when did we start categorizing sex — or chocolate, for that matter — as “gifts”? These are essentials!
RG: Chocolate, 'cause when you bite the nuts the chocolate doesn't mind.

Street: There are two types of people at Penn...
JG: Those who have a vagina and those who do not.
RG: Those who donate to Seniors for the Penn Fund and those who don't.

Street: Most underrated thing about Penn? Overrated?
JG: Underrated: Distrito. My alter-ego, “Tequila Girl” really enjoys it. Overrated: Pod. I got food poisoning the last time I ate there.
RG: Underrated: Fifth floor stacks east wing. Overrated: Paradigm bathroom.

Street: What was your last purchase?
JG: Groceries. My New Year’s resolution was to cook all my meals except one each week.
RG: Cosi Signature Salad, multi-grain bread and a lemonade.

Street: You’re walking into a friend's party. What is playing in the background?
JG: Live acoustic jazz.
RG: "Fix yourself girl, you got a Camel Toe!"

Street: What is one of your guilty pleasures?
JG: Craigslist Missed Connections. It’s the best entertainment money can’t buy.
RG: Interventionists Jeff VanVonderen and Candy Finnigan.

Street: Describe your vagina in three words.
JG: Slippery when wet.
RG: Tunnel of love.
