“Lily’s Wings”

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 a “boyfriend” trafficker targets them.  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.  A brief overview of human trafficking will precede the play and support by community partners will be available.  Directed by Stacey Ardelean.
