Documentary Play BODY & SOLD Coming to Bootless This Weekend
Body & Sold by Deborah Lake Fortson plays for four nights only - January 11, 2017, January 12, 2017, January 13, 2017 and January 14, 2017, 7:30 PM - 9:30 pm - at Bootless.
All proceeds will directly support The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children, The Body & Sold Project and Zoe Ministries.
In the documentary play, BODY & SOLD, winner of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist's Award, we hear the stories of eight teen survivors and the stark realities in five US cities.
Over 100,000 young Americans run away from home every year. Within 48 hours of being on the street these teens will be approached by a man posing as a friend, offering food, shelter, and love. Most of the time, he will turn out to be a pimp and will sell the young person for commercial sex. The BODY & SOLD Project is a theater and community initiative to raise awareness about the epidemic of commercial sexual exploitation of our young people and develop strategies to combat it.
Tickets: $15 General Admission.
