1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

Come From Away is a musical based on the true events following September 11, 2001, when 38 planes were unexpectedly grounded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. Nearly 7,000 stranded passengers— “come from aways”—were welcomed by the town and surrounding area residents, who opened their homes, schools, and hearts to complete strangers.
PCT's director, Jeff Corriveau, visited Gander for six days to bring the spirit of Gander to Newport News. Read more about what he found and how it will make PCT's production stand out amongst the others.
Brian Mosher, retired Gander Collegiate teacher and broadcaster, is coming to Newport News on the first weekend, February 26 - 28. Brian hosted live cable TV shows in Gander providing information and updates during that crucial time. Read more about Brian and the talk-back events.
