Dear
Member,,
Bay Area Children's Theatre is
proud to present Rickshaw Girl
- a world premiere play based
on the award-winning book by
Mitali Perkins.
Told through a blend of
theater, dance, and music,
this uplifting play will
transport you and your family
across the ocean to a village
in Bangladesh where a young
artist longs to change the
world around her.
Adapted by playwright Aditi
Kapil and directed by Vidhu
Singh, with live music by
vocalist Sonali Bhattacharya,
percussionist Amit Sharma, and
others, Rickshaw Girl tells a
heartwarming story about a
young girl’s courage and
caring, even as it provides a
glimpse into Bangladeshi
customs and culture.
ABOUT THE SHOW
A village in Bangladesh, a
loving family, and a daring
daughter. In Naima's village,
boys can work for pay, but girls
are expected to stay home and
help with the cooking and the
cleaning. Naima desperately
wants to help her father earn
more money, and she thinks she
knows just how to do it.
