The 2012 tour of She Has a Name was a fringe theatre tour across Canada of Andrew Kooman's She Has a Name, a play about human trafficking. The tour was co-produced by Burnt Thicket Theatre and Raise Their Voice and was directed by Stephen Waldschmidt. 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. Critical ratings of the performances that employed stars ranged between 3 and 5 stars out of 5.
