Event Info

Written and performed by award-winning artist Stacy Jewell, 7 Layers Captive is a globally acclaimed, one-woman theatrical experience based on her real-life abduction into sex trafficking. Mesmerizing and unexpectedly entertaining, this award-winning play delivers poetic truth and unforgettable storytelling that has earned standing ovations around the world. With original sound design and fierce monologues, Stacy commands the stage with humor, power, and grace—leaving audiences moved, inspired, and uplifted.

Named a Top Scene Stealer by DC Theater Arts—placing second only to The Lion King’s “Hakuna Matata” at the Kennedy Center—7 Layers Captive proves that even the heaviest truths can be told with artistry, charisma, and healing joy. Winner of Best Actress, Best Stage Play (2015), and DC Theater Arts’ Scene Stealers Award, this play is not a story of pity—it’s an unflinching celebration of survival, resilience, and redemption.
