Average age of entry for a child sold into prostitution: 12. Average lifespan thereafter: 7. The facts surrounding trafficked children ensure that Mary Bonnett’s drama Monger—inspired by interviews she’s done both trafficked children and the men who buy them—is tragically timely. Director John Mossman (pictured) helms the story of a grieving mother and an attorney charged with interviewing her about her child’s disappearance. It runs through Sept. 30 at Herstory Theatre at the Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave. Admission is $35 (a portion of proceeds go to vetted organizations fighting child trafficking); visit www.herstorytheater.org/.
