Because I Am A Girl
For a chance to see Rick onstage, come see HARDSELL at the Factory Theatre in Toronto from Oct 13-23 2011. Girls’ issues aren’t just part of the performance – Rick is donating his salary to the Because I am a Girl campaign.
Plan International’s Because I am a Girl initiative is a social movement to unleash the power of girls and women to claim a brighter future for girls in the developing world.
Rick Miller co-created All About Eve, a presentation that compares and contrasts a girl in Canada and a girl in a developing country.
The best thing about All About Eve is that you can download it, mash it up, add your own voice, and present it to your school or community as well to help raise awareness about girls’ rights! Join a Because I am a Girl Girls’ Club at planyouth.ca to get the download!
KJ: Can you tell me about the All About Eve program?
I was approached by a Because I am a Girl staffer who had seen Bigger Than Jesus, one of my solo shows. She especially liked that social issues were being raised in a multimedia performance and we talked about how it could apply to Because I am a Girl.
What emerged was All About Eve, a multimedia presentation co-created with my colleague Sean Lynch and illustrated by Crystal Lancaster. Both Sean and I have two daughters, and we wanted to find a way to communicate girls’ issues in an exciting way to a large audience.
