[6] As a playwright, he wrote Hockey Dad: A Play in 3 Periods with James Popoff.

[1] In 2010, Waldschmidt attended a presentation by Andrew Kooman in Strathmore about human trafficking.

[1] Waldschmidt felt drawn to address the issue of human trafficking even before discovering She Has a Name[2] and had gotten involved with some fair trade initiatives.

Eventually, however, he and Kooman worked together on the script,[1] expanding it to a full-length play with an extra hour's worth of material by the end of 2010,[10] resulting in a play that can be performed in ninety minutes[11] but may last up to two hours.

[12] Kooman and Waldschmidt were moved to continue working on the play because of worldwide human trafficking statistics; namely, that 800000 people are trafficked across international borders each year, that there are 10 million children forced to work in the sex industry, that 1 million of these are child prostitutes, and that sex traffickers have an average annual income of $280000 per victim.
