JULY / AUGUST 2018 49 September 13 & 15 Waitress N Paramount Theatre Waitress tells the story of Jenna—a waitress and expert pie maker—who dreams of leaving her small town and loveless marriage.

This irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by six-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam), and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus.

A day later, the story of how the Canadian town of Gander embraced 7,000 stranded airline passengers moved us. This true story takes you into the heart of a community that demonstrated remarkable compassion in the face of culture clashes and language barriers. Undaunted by these issues, the people of Gander cheered the stranded trav- elers with music, drinks, and the recognition that we're all part of a global family.
