Don’t Call Me Baby! is a theater piece whose purpose is to expose the sobering reality of a thriving criminal enterprise- human trafficking. Written by Dr. Ana Nogales, Don’t Call Me Baby! provides its audiences with an unadulterated account of one couple’s struggle to persevere through the mental anguish that accompanies victims of the sex trade, while simultaneously providing therapeutic guidance. With each character battling their personal demons, Don’t Call Me Baby! delivers the message that this is a danger to which everyone is vulnerable. As the play successfully demonstrates, the sex trade does not discriminate. The wife’s recollection of the horrors victims must endure while held in captivity acknowledges a gritty truth that many in the audience would otherwise never imagine. Don’t Call Me Baby! appeals to audiences at every level, both male and female, and of every race and culture. It is structured in a way in which the veracity of human trafficking is not simply revealed, but also given means to a healing end. And while the audience, via the central character, is provided with psychological advice, they are also presented with information on who to contact should they encounter a similar situation.
