A beloved local production of 'Come From Away' has found a new stage after the Canada Day storm forced the closure of the Meridian Theatres at Centrepointe. CTV's Kimberley Johnson speaks with actor Réjean Mayer, who says there were tears when they thought the show wouldn't happen, but De La Salle Public High School has become their own version of Gander. Director Jennifer Fontaine, who was a student at the high school during the September 11th attacks, says the venue stepped up to save the production. The show is being put on by Suzart Productions and Maple Leaf Theatre Productions and runs from September 10th to the 19th.
