==== Connection to Come From Away ====
''Come From Away'' began its life and development at the Canadian Music Theatre Project in 2012. Over two seasons, the CMTP provided the creative team 12 weeks of development time and support, with exceptional student performers, crew, and creative teams. Access to onsite recording facilities to create demo recordings aided in the continuing development of the musical. The workshops culminated in test performance with a full band and live audiences at Sheridan and the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto. The full, two-act musical was produced by Theatre Sheridan the following year. ''Come From Away'' was part of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre and Goodspeed Festivals of New Musicals. It was optioned by Tony-Award winning producers Junkyard Dog Productions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cmtp.sheridancollege.ca/projects/come-from-away/|title=Come From Away – Sheridan {{!}} Canadian Music Theatre Project|website=cmtp.sheridancollege.ca|access-date=November 20, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Wong |first1=Tony |title=From Gander to Broadway |url=https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20161113/281822873376906 |via=[[PressReader]] |publisher=[[Toronto Star]] |access-date=23 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230409161013/https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20161113/281822873376906 |archive-date=Apr 9, 2023 |language=en |date=13 Nov 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
