What people are saying:
"Trafficked was the most moving piece of live theatre that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing... such a unique and layered show that flowed so gracefully from beginning... I pray that this production will be shown on countless stages." M. from Lakeland, FL "Trafficked took me on an emotional roller coaster unlike any other piece I have ever seen...This is a must see for EVERYONE!" - S. from Winter Haven, FL "Trafficked is unbelievably potent. You simply couldn't ignore such a compelling, important and heartbreaking subject. " - T. from Lakeland, FL "A harrowing piece that examines a large swath of folks impacted by sex trafficking and one that takes advantage of theatricality...the piece straddles the line between potent human stories and informational and instructive theater. Most of all, it presents all of these characters with insight and compassion." - N.M. from New Jersey "Suarez-Pena looks at this travesty through a compassionate lens...(her) theatrical conversation is unique and brilliant" - D.G. from California |
