Secret Survivors
Ping Chong & Company's SECRET SURVIVORS
Saturday, March 12 at El Museo del Barrio
UPDATE Feb 12: A month out and the 600 seats are already booked up, as well as the 30 person waiting list.

Oh yeah, and the Egyptian people forced Mubarak to step down - HA!
Amita began gathering us well over a year ago. A friend, an acquaintance or a friend of a friend who she may have heard a stray word about. All of us survivors of child sexual abuse.
