Sisterhood of the Survivors

Reading and Discussion

By Bianca Vranceanu Directed by Leslie Pasternack

Based on the real stories of four Romanian human trafficking survivors, Sisterhood of the Survivors is set in a long-term recovery shelter and explores the three periods of each woman's life: their childhood, their human trafficking experience, and their healing journey. The monologue-style play showcases how trust and strength are built through telling their stories, and how through their shared experience they can build relationships with one another and attain a life of freedom, independence, and resilience.

Content warning: the play contains themes of violence, sexual exploitation, and abuse.
