This production is a perfect example of why I am enamored with Theatre and Art, and why I am proud to be part of this community.

The love and selflessness the citizens of Gander and Newfoundland had for all of the foreign travelers is astonishing. The locals 'took in' and fed 6,579 stranded passengers, which was half the size of the town's population.
