On Monday evening, July 22, members of the first National/North American tour of the Broadway hit musical COME FROM AWAY performed a special cabaret to benefit the Gander Legion in Gander, Newfoundland. The Gander Legion, which is committed to providing services to veterans and fostering community service, is featured in the show as the location where "honorary Newfoundlanders" are "screeched in". With the producers of COME FROM AWAY matching funds raised on the 22nd, the company was able to send a donation of over CAD $17,000 to the Legion.
The one night only cabaret took place at Pickwick and Frolic in Cleveland, Ohio and included performances by Christine Toy Johnson, Julie Johnson, Emily Walton, Megan McGinnis, Adam Halpin, Kevin Carolan, Harter Clingman, James Earl Jones II, Aaron Michael Ray, Nate Putnam, Caleb Grissett, Julie Garnye, Marika Aubrey, Jane Bunting, Steve Holloway, Isaac Alderson, Max Calkin, Kiana Weber, Matt Wong, Ben Morrow, Adam Stoler and Cynthia Kortman Westphal.
