FVCC, Soroptimist of Whitefish partner for human trafficking awareness presentation

Flathead Valley Community College’s Mask and Hammer Theatre Club and Soroptimist International of Whitefish present an evening spotlighting Human Trafficking Awareness Month on Saturday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. Anyone is welcome to attend the event taking place in the Joe Legate Black Box Theatre in FVCC’s Arts and Technology Building. 

Mask and Hammer will present a staged reading of the play “Body and Sold,” by Deborah Lake Fortson, written from actual interviews. 

The playwright states, “The Body and Sold Project thanks the young men and women who told their stories in order that other people would become aware of the dangers in being on the street. We honor their courage and their resilience.” 

Following the staged reading, Soroptimist International is offering an informational question-and-answer session with a panel of professionals who champion the ongoing fight against human trafficking. 

Tickets are $10 general admission, $5 senior and free for students.
