“Lily’s Wings”
TYA Touring Production (Local tour – no overnight)
January/February 2020
Lily’s Wings , a bilingual (Spanish/English) touring play, follows the story of Lily, a middle school student, and her older sister’s friend as they are targeted by a “boyfriend” trafficker. The play brings awareness to the issue of trafficking and one way young people are targeted. While the subject area is serious, the play is appropriate for youth.
