First glimpse of our new musical, "Come From Away"!
I'm very proud to announce that "Come From Away" - the new musical written by me and Irene - is being showcased as part of The Canadian Musical Theatre Project. It tells the true story of when seven thousand people landed on the doorstep of Gander, Newfoundland... and the people of Gander "put the kettle on." A rocking musical about when 38 planes from around the world were diverted to a small, Canadian community on September 11th, 2001 - doubling its population in an instant. While the world witnessed the worst acts of humankind, the stranded passengers had their faith in humanity restored by the spirited people who comforted those who had come from away.
We've been workshopping "Come From Away" with acclaimed Newfoundland director, David Ferry, and some of the best Celtic musicians in town - as well as the talented students at Sheridan College. We will be presenting part of it this Tuesday, April 10th at 2pm and 8pm at the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto and then April 12th-21st at Sheridan College in Oakville. We'd love to see you there and get your feedback on our new material!
Tickets for April 10th are Pay-What-You-Can at the door of the Panasonic Theatre (651 Yonge. St., Toronto - where MMLJWW was). First come first served.
Tickets for April 12th-21st at Sheridan College can be
purchased in advance here.
