Prepare for the most exciting musical theatre summer school you'll ever experience!

Our senior musical project is designed for students in Year 10 and above, and in just one week, you'll create a whole musical and perform the entire show on the Saturday evening.

Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, this smash hit show shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

Experience this joyous story and soaring music as spirited locals and global passengers come together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

Directed by Natasha Barnes who starred in the recent UK tour of the show, if you already have a solid musical theatre skill set and want to develop further in an intensive professional environment, this project is perfect for you.

Note: this project is not suitable for beginners.
