Andrew Kooman's play She Has a Name went on a fringe theatre tour across Canada in 2012. The two main characters in the play are Jason, a young Canadian lawyer; and Number 18, a young female prostitute who claims to be fifteen years old and has been a prostitute for six years. Jason comes to believe that Number 18 could be a key witness to a human trafficking incident and tries to gain her trust and persuade her to testify against a brothel ring. The play had its initial run in 2011. Both the 2011 and 2012 tours were co-produced by Burnt Thicket Theatre and Raise Their Voice and were directed by Stephen Waldschmidt. For the 2012 tour, the five-person cast featured Carl Kennedy, Evelyn Chew, Glenda Warkentin, Alysa van Haastert, and Sienna Howell-Holden. Despite the fact that She Has a Name is set in Southeast Asia, the producers deliberately cast mostly actors who were not of Asian descent to avoid the impression that human trafficking happens only in Asia.

Panel discussions were held after the Saturday matinées during the tour to raise awareness about human trafficking that takes place in Canada and elsewhere. A Better World (ABW) partnered with Raise Their Voice throughout the tour; while She Has a Name toured across Canada to raise awareness about human trafficking, ABW raised money to help women and children who had been trafficked in Thailand as part of the country's prostitution industry.

During the tour, Kooman received the Outstanding Alumnus Provincial Award Celebrating Excellence from the Alberta Association of Colleges & Technical Institutes and the Alberta Ministry of Enterprise. At the Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival, She Has a Name was selected for a "Pick of the Fringe" award. Critical ratings of the performances that employed stars ranged between 3 and 5 stars out of 5. In Halifax, the The Chronicle Herald's reviewer, who did not employ stars, was critical of the play, writing that that it lacked irony, had a melodramatic and excessively moralizing tone, and resembled the morality plays of the Middle Ages. When She Has a Name was performed at fringe theatre festivals, critics representing the Montreal Gazette, the Winnipeg Free Press, and CFEQ-FM wrote that the play stood out for its quality and moral content.

She Has a Name is a Canadian play about human trafficking written by Andrew Kooman, president and founder of Raise Their Voice.[1] The play was inspired by the Ranong human-trafficking incident, in which 121 people were trafficked from Burma into Thailand and left to die in a water tank.[2] The two main characters are a Canadian lawyer named Jason and a young prostitute known as Number 18.[3] Jason has a beautiful wife named Ali and a boss named Marta.[4] Number 18 has a pimp who has an assistant referred to as Mama.[5]

The play was first performed at the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts in Calgary, Alberta in February 2011.[3] Four days after the initial performances in Calgary, Burnt Thicket Theatre moved the play to the Scott Block Theatre in Red Deer, performing there until March 12.[6] The performances in Calgary and Red Deer sold out.[7] For this reason, a second run was planned.[8] All five members of Raise Their Voice had previous connections with A Better World (ABW), an organization based in Lacombe, and the two organizations began planning to work together.[9] A tour was initially planned for that fall.[10]

Plans for a cross-Canada tour were realised in May of the following year, when She Has a Name began a fringe theatre tour.[11] As with the 2011 performances, the 2012 tour was directed by Stephen Waldschmidt and co-produced by Burnt Thicket Theatre and Raise Their Voice.[12] The 2012 tour of She Has a Name lasted twenty weeks, encompassing approximately 80 performances in total.[13] Carl Kennedy portrayed Jason, Evelyn Chew acted as Number 18, Glenda Warkentin reprised the role of Marta, Alysa van Haastert performed as Ali, and Sienna Howell-Holden returned as Mama.[14] Morris Ertman, Rosebud Theatre's artistic director, recommended Kennedy to Kooman after Ertman saw Kennedy perform in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot in Vancouver.[15] Kennedy auditioned for the dual role of Jason and the pimp over Skype.[16]

Despite the fact that She Has a Name is set in Southeast Asia, the producers deliberately cast mostly actors who were not of Asian descent to avoid the impression that human trafficking happens only in Asia. While the issues dealt with in She Has a Name are inherently sexual and the play depicts scenes of sexuality, the performances displayed no nudity.[17] Nonetheless, a nudity warning was included in the program and children under the age of 14 were not admitted.[18] The play deals with mature themes and includes profanity, about which audiences were warned.[19]

To facilitate the tour, nearly $100,000 was raised from private donors, business sponsors and church groups.[20] A fundraiser was held at Foothills Alliance Church in Calgary on May 5, featuring a scene performed by Kennedy and Chew.[16] Aaron Krogman, the actor who portrayed Jason in the premiere, also performed several songs.[21] A week later, on May 12, another fundraiser was hosted at Hope Community Covenant Church in Strathmore. For this fundraiser, Randall Wiebe gave a pay-what-you-want performance of Thomas: Confessions of a Doubter, a 55-minute, one-man Passion Play that he wrote himself and had performed more than 350 times.[22]

The tour started on May 23 in Lethbridge and travelled to Saskatoon; Ottawa; Montreal; Halifax; London, Ontario; Winnipeg; Calgary; Victoria; Vancouver; Kelowna; Edmonton; and Red Deer.[23] London was added partway through the tour because of popular demand.[24] There was a pay-what-you-can preview on May 22 at the Sterndale Bennett Theatre in Lethbridge.[25] In Saskatoon, the play ran at Remai Arts Centre's BackStage Stage.[26] In Montreal, the play was presented at the Montreal Arts Interculturels as part of the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival.[27] In Halifax, the play was staged at Neptune Theatre.[28] The London performances were hosted by Men Against Sexual Trafficking and the London Anti-Human Trafficking Committee at Aeolian Hall.[29] In Winnipeg, the play was performed at Manitoba Theatre for Young People's Shaw Performing Arts Centre.[30] The Winnipeg performances were part of the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.[31] The performances in Calgary took place at the Lantern Church Sanctuary.[32] These performances were part of the Calgary Fringe Festival, for which She Has a Name was selected by lottery.[33]

Sarahanne Tolsma worked to bring the play to Victoria. She sought to raise $10,000 to enter the play in the Victoria Fringe Festival.[34] She Has a Name was successfully entered into the Victoria Fringe Festival and the performances were located at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.[35] The play was performed at the Firehall Arts Centre as part of the Vancouver Fringe Festival in September.[36] In Kelowna, the Rotary Centre for the Arts' Mary Irwin Theatre hosted the play.[37] The play was performed at Catalyst Theatre in Edmonton.[38] The final performances of the tour were conducted at the Scott Block Theatre in Red Deer from October 2 to 6.[39] The first of these performances in Red Deer sold out and received a standing ovation.[40] Burnt Thicket Theatre ran out of money every month of the tour, but then sold-out performances provided them with enough money to continue for the next month.[41]

Talkback panels and fundraising

Panel discussions were held after Saturday matinées to raise awareness about human trafficking that takes place in Canada and elsewhere.[42] These discussions were open to anyone who wanted to attend and were chaired by several people, including Kooman.[43] ACT Alberta's community engagement coordinator was on the panels in Lethbridge and Calgary.[44] The Saskatoon panel included the president of NASHI.[45] Joy Smith appeared on the panels in Ottawa and Winnipeg, where she serves as Member of Parliament.[46] In Halifax, the panel included the director of the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia and a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer.[47] Brian McConaghy, a Canadian forensic scientist and founder of Ratanak International, was on the panel in Winnipeg.[48] Winnipeg's Eastview Community Church later hosted another discussion with three experts, including the director of Dignity House.[49]

A Centre to End All Sexual Exploitation representative named Norma was on the panels in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer.[50] Yvon Dandurand of the University of the Fraser Valley and Melissa Hyland of the Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons both appeared on the Victoria panel at the Hotel Grand Pacific.[51] The Vancouver performances took place at the Firehall Arts Centre and the corresponding panel discussions were held at St. James Anglican Church. Panelists included Trisha Baptie, Jassy Bindra, Brian McConaghy, Naomi Krueger of Deborah's Gate, and the Director of Development and Mobilization of International Justice Mission Canada.[52] The Kelowna panel was scheduled to include Glendene Grant, mother of Jessie Foster.[53] The Edmonton panel was scheduled to include RCMP officer Cindy Kovalak.[38] The final talkback panel in Red Deer was attended by about 70 people.[54]

ABW partnered with Raise Their Voice throughout the tour to raise money to help women and children who had been trafficked in Thailand.[9] ABW raised this money by solicitation through the show's program, which recommended ABW as a good organization to support and listed the websites of several other nonprofit organizations.[20] The money went to Home of New Beginnings, a Bangkok safe house, where former human trafficking victims receive life skills-based education.[9]

Reviews

File:She Has a Name 2012 - Voices.jpg
Evelyn Chew's performance was hailed by critics as heartbreaking and mesmerizing.

Audiences reacted with deep emotion as the play toured.[59] Standing ovations were common.[60][61] Reviews from theatre critics were generally positive.[62] Laureen Guenther of Maranatha News wrote that the 2012 performances were more tender and brutal than those in the initial run.[63] The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation praised the acting in the play, as did the Winnipeg Free Press, The Charlebois Post, the Montreal Gazette, the Calgary Herald, Plank Magazine, the Edmonton Journal, and the St. Albert Gazette.[64] The Winnipeg Free Press was particularly approving of Carl Kennedy's performance.[18] Evelyn Chew's performance was hailed by The Vancouver Sun as heartbreaking and by the St. Albert Gazette as mesmerizing.[65] The Calgary Herald wrote positively of Waldschmidt's directing.[66] The special effects were praised by the Edmonton Journal;[67] Anton de Groot had designed the lighting.[68]

When Kooman's play was performed in the Montreal Fringe Festival alongside such other plays as The No Bullshit History of Canada and Fucking Stephen Harper: How I Sexually Assaulted the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada and Saved Democracy, the Montreal Gazette called She Has a Name a "well-crafted, issue-oriented play" that stood in contrast to the festival's "standup comedy, burlesque and navel-gazing solo shows".[69] The Montreal Gazette had previously predicted that She Has a Name would be the best performance in the festival.[70] Ultimately, however, the Montreal Gazette declared Kooman's play only second-best to God Is a Scottish Drag Queen.[71] In Halifax, the The Chronicle Herald's reviewer was bitingly critical of the play, writing that that it lacked irony, had a melodramatic and excessively moralizing tone, and was comparable to the morality plays of the Middle Ages.[72]

The Winnipeg Free Press considered She Has a Name "a cut above the quality of most fringe offerings".[18] CFEQ-FM praised the play for being one of the few plays at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival that had moral content or that challenged its viewers to make a difference on some issue.[15] Also in Winnipeg, Uptown's Marlo Campbell declared that the play caused her to cry until her face became puffy.[30] The play's return to Calgary was met with rave reviews.[73] At the Calgary Fringe Festival, the Calgary Herald singled out She Has a Name as more poignant and weighty than the other plays.[66] The festival organizers announced that attendance was up by 23% from the previous year; the Calgary Herald attributed the increase to the popularity of She Has a Name and the other two plays that were performed with it at the Lantern Church Sanctuary: Loon and The Last Man on Earth.[74] Amanda McCuaig of Art Threat recorded that She Has a Name was received with standing ovations and speechless audiences at the Vancouver Fringe Festival.[61] Cynthia Foster attended one of the performances during the tour, and she later went on to produce and direct the first school production of She Has a Name, with students at Strathcona Christian Academy Secondary School acting in two performances at La Cite in Edmonton in November 2014.[75]
