A noisy anonymous unforgettable point of departure for hundreds of thousands of people everyday, Grand Central Station is a great place to visit, but who'd want to live there? Hundreds of people, many of them penniless and all of them lost, call Grand Central home. This is the story of one, a 15 year old runaway named Marta de Silva. Loosely based on the true story of a young woman who lived in Grand Central for four years, the play examines the search of one very intelligent, warm and troubled human being for a place of her own in a disintegrating social system. Grand Central Station is a play about survival and what happens to young people with dreams when the odds are stacked against them.
