If America is to stay free, then citizens must be virtuous. But what does that mean? Too often, virtue is a word that's mistakenly used as a synonym for principle or idea or value. And if people can't even agree on its definition, then how can we instill it as a need in the minds of Americans? David Hein, author of "Teaching the Virtues," discusses.

Members from both sides of the political aisle are applauding a new bill that just passed unanimously in the House of Commons. Frank Caputo, Member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Caribou and graduate from the University of Saskatchewan School of Law, wrote Bill C-291, which seeks to change wording in the Criminal Code from "child pornography" to "child sexual abuse and exploitation material." He joins Evan to discuss the bill. An award-winning musical, partially penned by a person with Regina roots, is back in Saskatchewan next week! Come From Away writer, David Hein, joins Evan ahead of three shows for the musical at Conexus Arts Centre.

Les sorties BD de Xavier Vanbuggenhout : - « La troisième Personne » de Emma Grove (Delcourt) - « La Tour de Babel : Voyages au coeur du grand bazar européen » de Kokopello (Dargaud/Seuil) Dans le cadre du Festival Bruxellons !, on reçoit Jack Cooper qui met en scène la comédie musicale d'Irene Sankoff et David Hein : "Come From Away", à voir du 13 juillet au 30 août au Château du Karreveld à Bruxelles. Le 11 septembre, le monde s'est arrêté. Le 12 septembre, leur histoire nous a redonné foi en la vie. « Come From Away » vous transporte au cœur de la magnifique histoire vraie de 7.000 passagers de 38 avions de ligne qui ont atterri d'urgence le 11 septembre 2001 dans la petite ville de Gander à Terre-Neuve dont les habitants vont tout mettre en œuvre pour accueillir au mieux ces femmes et ces hommes venus des cinq continents. Au milieu des cultures qui s'entrechoquent et de la panique ambiante, l'inquiétude laisse place à la confiance, la musique s'élève dans la nuit et la gratitude se transforme en une amitié qui durera toute la vie. « Come from Away » montre ce petit monde temporaire où tout le monde est forcé, par des événements bouleversants survenus à des centaines de kilomètres de là, de se réunir et de construire une communauté basée sur des principes de générosité et de bienveillance. Damien De Dobbeleer et Sarah Ber pour la nouvelle création "Alice au pays des merveilles" de Lewis Carroll, à voir au Château de Rixensart du 16 juillet au 17 août. En cette belle soirée estivale, des épousailles s'organisent au château en l'honneur d'Alice, une jeune femme rêveuse, et d'un gendre idéal. Mais Alice ne se sent pas prête. Elle fera alors un pas de côté, afin de nous emmener voyager dans son monde à elle : un monde fait d'absurde et d'étrange, de légèreté et d'émotion. Un monde bucolique peuplé de personnages imprévisibles, où la féérie est petit à petit mise à mal par le temps qui s'écoule, inéluctablement. Un dernier voyage, dans lequel le fétiche lapin aura fort à faire pour réparer les dégâts occasionnés par le temps, dans ce monde onirique où le grotesque est... Reine ! "Le Classico" de Sébastien Ministru : "L'Île mystérieuse" de Jules Verne. Au cours de la guerre de Sécession, cinq Nordistes : l'ingénieur Cyrus Smith et son chien Top, le reporter Gédéon Spilett, le Noir Nab, le marin Pencroff et le jeune Harbert, prisonniers des troupes séparatistes, se sont enfuis en balIon. Pris dans la tempête, ils échouent sur une île déserte, en plein océan Pacifique. Ingénieux, persévérants, les cinq compagnons, pourtant privés de tout, ne tardent pas à s'organiser, à vivre presque normalement. D'ailleurs, l'île, qu'ils baptisent du nom de Lincoln, offre des ressources admirables et tout à fait inattendues. Mais une série de faits inexplicables, des coïncidences troublantes les obligent à croire à la présence d'une puissance mystérieuse qui les épie sans cesse et conduit leur destinée, leur imposant sa volonté par des voies détournées, intervenant pour les sauver aux moments critiques...

Though music has been a part of theatrical arts since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre was born in America. Josh Kreitzman, my guest today, argues that musicals are the best art form, and I'm inclined to agree with him. How often do you get to witness art as it is happening and be a part of its creation with a room of people? Musicals are fully body sensory experience and the stories they tell have always been a reflection of the triumphs and heartbreaks of life. Music is a language beyond borders—how better to capture the heart and soul of our times? In this episode, we discuss Prayer from Come From Away by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The musical tells the real life story of the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11th attacks when 7,000 passengers were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport. We discuss the power of musicals, the lasting effects of grief and trauma (even when we get up to go to work the next morning), the difference between being in an audience and being a viewer, and how tragedy can bring good. See the links to the videos of the songs we discuss at the shownotes.

Sunday was the twenty-first anniversary of 9/11. The day brought solemn ceremonies of remembrance for the thousands lost on that tragic day in 2001. It was also a time to remember the outpouring of support and assistance from residents of Newfoundland and Labrador to stranded airline passengers in several communities. The travelers were grounded when U.S. airspace was closed. David Hein and Irene Sankoff are the writers of the musical Come From Away, and they have some special events planned for Gander this week.

The U.S. Surgeon general reported that from 2009 to 2019, the share of high school students who reported persistent feelings of hopelessness increased by 40 percent to more than one in three students. Then came the Covid-19 pandemic and in person classes canceled or conducted by a combination of in person and virtuaal or what became known as hybrid. Worse yet, the pandemic disrupted many young people's lives and educators took notice. They pointed to mental health as a major concern for students. In the recently adopted state budget, $200 million was provided for student mental health and school safety.

Come From Away  is called Broadway's 100-minute feel good sensation, and for good reason. Now in its 6th year at the Schoenfeld Theatre, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the true story of the five days following September 11, 2001 in Gander, New Foundland where 7,000 stranded passengers were met with overwhelming human kindness in their time of need. This week, authors Irene Sankoff and David Hein join Rabbi Pont for a conversation about how the show came to be and the impact that this spectacular show has had on them, on the artists who brought it to life, and the millions of people who have seen the show worldwide.

David Hein and Irene Sankoff, the husband-and-wife writing team behind Broadway hit musical Come From Away tell us why these stories move us.

On this episode of Keystone Education Radio, hear from PSBA's president-elect and Parkland School District's board president David Hein on his district's drive to continuously learn, grow and communicate effectively, and what he calls failing forward.

This is the second part of my recent conversation with Irene Sankoff & David Hein -- the dynamic writing team and married couple that created the international smash hit musical Come From Away. Five productions of Come From Away have recently reopened around the world: Broadway, Toronto, London, Sydney and on tour across America. A new Dutch production has just opened, as well, and a live filmed version of the show is streaming on Apple TV+. On the previous episode Irene and David related how they got hooked on musicals, and how they went from their first show based on a true story -- My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding -- to deciding to create a musical based on the real life events that happened in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland in the days following 9/11. They also described what it was like to attend the 10th Anniversary of the events in Gander and then begin to transform the stories they heard there into a musical during an early workshop production at The Canadian Music Theatre Project at Sheridan College. We also explored the classic Broadway shows that influenced and inspired the writing of their book, music, and lyrics for Come From Away. If you missed part one you may want to go back and catch up on that episode before you listen to this one. Today we look at the extensive development process that CFA went through on its journey to Broadway - including a workshop in Seattle, a series of productions at the La Jolla Playhouse, The Seattle Rep, Ford's Theater in DC. and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, as well as a thrilling concert presentation in Gander where it all began.  Back in 2015, I served as the Executive Producer and Artistic Director of The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle and, as such, I had the great pleasure of co-producing that original Seattle workshop of Come From Away. This was the first time that the show's Tony award winning director Christopher Ashley and choreographer, Kelly Devine began to work on the show -- and it was great fun to recall that exciting experience with Irene and David. Come From Away is the fifth musical to originate in Canada and eventually open on Broadway.  The first was 1974's Rockabye Hamlet with book, music and lyrics by Cliff Jones. This rock musical adaptation of Shakespeare was originally titled Kronborg 1582 and was well received, first as a radio series on the CBC, and then at the Charlottetown Theatre Festival and on tour in Canada, before being retitled and opening on Broadway with Gower Champion as the director. It became a legendary flop and closed after 7 performances. Next, in 1980 came the intimate and engaging Billy Bishop Goes To War written by John McLachlan Gray the show featured one actor to playing18 different roles to tell the story of real life Canadian fighter pilot Billy Bishop during the first World War. This show nearly doubled the run of Rockabye Hamlet closing after 12 performances. However, over the next ten years Billy Bishop Goes To War received scores of productions at theaters all across North America.  The Story Of My Life, with music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill, opened on Broadway in 2009. Unfortunately, it had an even shorter run than either of the previous two Canadian shows. However, one year earlier, a group of Canadian writers finally scored a significant hit with The Drowsy Chaperone – book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison. This delightful show opened on Broadway in 2008, received Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Original Score, and ran for 674 performances.   There have been a few other Canadian writers that found success on Broadway – Galt McDermott being the most famous of them – but that was with shows that originated in the US.   Learn more about your ad choices.

My guests today are Irene Sankoff & David Hein – the dynamic writing team and married couple that created the giant international smash hit musical Come From Away. Five productions of Come From Away have recently reopened around the world: Broadway, Toronto, London, Sydney and on tour across America. A live filmed version of the show is also streaming on Apple TV+. Irene and David won the 2019 Olivier Award and were nominated for the 2018 Grammy Award and the 2017 Tony Award for their book and score for Come From Away, with the show itself winning the 2019 Olivier Award for Best Musical, three 2017 Dora Mavor Moore Awards, four Helen Hayes Awards, five Outer Critics Circle Awards and three Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical. David and Irene were also the recipients of the 2017 Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards for Best Book. A live filmed version of Come From Away is now streaming on Apple TV+. Their first show, My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding (based on David's mother's true story) was produced by Mirvish Productions in Toronto and played and won Best Musical awards across North America, with Sankoff and Hein performing in most productions. They are currently working on projects with Disney, Warner Bros. and Netflix. Irene and David are the recipients of the Good Neighbour Award from the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy and the Meritorious Service Cross of Canada. They are proud members of the Dramatists Guild, Writer's Guild East and ASCAP. @sankoffandhein In this conversation we explore the how Come From Away fits into the history of the Broadway musical – which musical theater writers from the past influenced Irene and David, and what classic shows inspired them. And we will look back at their first musical which has the memorable title: My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding. But first I wanted to find out how they got started down this path in the first place.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy new holiday drink menu at Starbucks day! Let's talk trash! And babies. And Timothée Chalamet for some reason? While also peppering in a quick argument about whether or not ghosts can smell or taste. We have a lot of ground to cover in this episode. Today, Elyse discusses the logistics of baby-napping - I mean the best ways to prevent your baby from being baby-napped - in her prelude to her chosen show this week, Switched at Birth. As the first mainstream TV show to feature the deaf community in a centered and significant way, this show has a lot of positive things going for it. However, we'll see that it does fail to hit the mark on some important parts of that representation. Claire then takes things away with a show off-the-beaten-path that captured their heart within the first several episodes - Ghosts. This show is about a quirky group of characters, some living, some dead, as they attempt to live together in harmony. Cheeky and fun, Ghosts is a can't-miss for all our fellow trashy TV lovers out there. P.S. Timothée Chalamet starring in Statistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvWefB4NGGI P.P.S. The names of the characters Claire was struggling to think of were Samantha and Jay :) Before we go: Elyse: The musical 35mm: A Musical Exhibition, by Ryan Scott Oliver and Matthew Murphy. A multimedia production performed anthology-style, where each standalone song is paired with a connected photograph. Elyse recommends checking out the song "The Ballad of Sara Berry" in particular if you're looking for somewhere to start. Watch either on Youtube for the full multimedia experience, or listen to the songs wherever you get your music. Claire: The musical Come from Away by David Hein. This is a beautiful, funny, and heart-wrenching musical based on the true story of a plane that had to land unexpectedly in the small and welcoming town of Gander, Newfoundland during the events of September 11th, 2001. Currently streaming on Apple TV+. Warning: This episode contains minor plot spoilers for the television series Switched at Birth and Ghosts. Have any questions? Comments? Suggestions?

On this week's episode, Robbie Rozelle sits in for Maureen and we chat with the writers of the musical Come From Away, Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Eleri Ward about her new album A Perfect Little Death, and West End star, Rosemary Ashe talking about the London revival of Call Me Madam.

 Written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, the Broadway smash COME FROM AWAY tells the amazing true story of the Americans left stranded in Gander, Newfoundland after the events surrounding 9/11. Now, directed by Chris Ashley, the iconic story comes to the small screen on Apple TV+, making the live experience accessible at home. In this 1on1, we participate in a special roundtable conversation with Ashely, Sankoff and Hein about telling an American story from a Canadian perspective and bringing the stage to life onscreen. 

Chris and Taylor review the live staged musical film "Come From Away" written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein with direction by Christopher Ashley. The musical showcases the true story of when 7,000 passengers were rerouted to Newfoundland after the 9/11 attacks and how the people of Gander stepped up to try and help and house them. The musical film stars Petrina Bromley, Jenn Colella, De'Lon Grant, Joel Hatch, Tony LePage, Caesar Samayoa, Q. Smith, Astrid Van Wieren, Emily Walton, Jim Walton, Sharon Wheatley and Paul Whitty.

Today we're speaking with the creators of "Come From Away," the Tony Award-winning Broadway show, and the latest to get a streaming release, this time on Apple TV+. Joining us are the creators and writers of the book, music, and lyrics, David Hein and Irene Sankoff, and director Christopher Ashley. The show is set in the week following the September 11 attacks and tells the true story of what transpired when 38 planes were ordered to land unexpectedly in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland when the US unexpectedly closed its airspace. The characters in the musical are based on real Gander residents as well as some of the 7,000 stranded travelers they housed and fed. If this sounds like a big story, that's because it is. And just how do you pare that down into a tight, Broadway show, with no intermission? It was a challenge: "I feel like one of the first questions you ask about a musical or a film or a play is, "who's the lead?" And ["Come From Away"] doesn't have one. It's got twelve actors playing hundreds and thousands of people. So its emotional event is so spread out. But one of the things we do have that kind of replaces that is the delight of twelve actors transforming. And you come to know those twelve, even despite the fact that they're gonna play many different parts. So the pleasure in theatrical and acting transformation gives us a lot of juice that you wouldn't have with just a lead. And also, there's no villain! But everybody does have this shared trauma around 9/11, if you were old enough to have lived through it. And how you deal with that trauma turns out to be the problem that everyone's trying to solve." — Christopher Ashley, Director, "Come From Away" The musical premiered on Broadway in 2017 and was nominated for seven Tony awards, including Best Musical, Book, and Score, and Christopher Ashley won the Tony for Best Direction.
