AboutIt's Olivia's thirteenth birthday and in her family of super-heros, that means that she gets to choose her very own superpower. Should she choose super strength , teleportation, or something new? In an effort to make her own decision, she leaves home in search of the most powerful forces she can find for inspiration. She encounters wind, sun, and water, the magical world of plants and the the sorry tales of discarded trash only to find that she doesn't even need a power to make a difference. All she has to do is spread the word of how everyone can do his or her part to make a difference!

Origins
|
I spent a summer touring with Surflight-to-Go, and learned about their mission, and the kind of difference educational musicals can make in kids' lives. When I found out that they needed a new environmental show, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to be a part of filling a need, and I got to stretch creatively at the same time. Surflight picked up my show and toured it throughout New York and New Jersey in 2013.

Album |
A New Kind of Hero was adapted in 2014 as an interactive album-style musical experience. This is the debut album of composer/performer Caroline Miller, in collaboration with Nathan Siler as arranger, producer and engineer and it was made possible with funding raised through a successful Kickstarter Campaign.
