Baltimore's new performance company, The OVEN presents the World Premiere of GONE.

Interested in making work that is connected to large social issues, The OVEN has been working with the issue of Human Trafficking and in particular the issue of children taken and sold into sex slavery. GONE draws open the veil of this vicious and heinous activity informing and enlightening audiences about this pernicious industry that preys on over 100,000 American children each year. The company’s work is non-linear, highly linguistic and ideographic.
