Connections is a one-act musical that explores themes of family, identity, and resilience through the lens of chance encounters at an airport. The story follows Hallie, a high school student grappling with her family’s impending move; Alex, a perfectionist vlogger questioning her engagement; and Andie, a high-powered lawyer estranged from her family. When a storm grounds their flights, these strangers must confront their personal challenges together. By the end of their shared journey, each character has grown and gained new insights into themselves and their relationships, leaving audiences with a profound sense of hope and joy.
This newly presented musical by Toronto playwright Shreya Jha (The Last Piece, Hart House Theatre; 18 Palace Road, Sheridan First Drafts with Factory Theatre, Statistics & Two Left Feet, Toronto Fringe) is another moving story accompanied by roasting orchestrations. Presented with a newly structured ensemble and live band, Connections is a show you don’t want to miss!
