Jun 8 @ 2 pm at The  Wright Place\, Strathroy\, ON \nTICKETS / INFO @ www.OnStageLive.ca \n\n\nFrom the playwright: \n\nDid you know that there are between 12\,000 and 14\,000 aircraft in the air at one time?\n\nI was on one of them at the end of March break\, in the very back seat\, waiting to land at Toronto Pearson during very turbulent weather. It was so rough\, that as we were on the final approach\, (in the same type of aircraft as the Delta flight that rolled over in a crash at Pearson recently)\, I had a strong feeling that the pilot would choose to abort the landing. Sure enough\, the engines spooled up and the pilot conducted a missed approach\, and off we went. When this happens\, it’s a busy scene in the cockpit with cleaning the aircraft up (flaps\, spoilers\, gear\, and anything else that’s sticking out) changing charts\, frequencies and plans to head into a new approach pattern. It’s hard to tell all that’s going on in the back seat\, so after we arrived home\, I went to a website where you can watch all active flights all over the world. There\, you can look up your most recent flight and see the route with all flight details like speed and altitude. I found our flight and discovered that the pilot opted to change runways in the process which resulted in a perfect landing. Go here and watch some serious live aircraft activity. https://www.flightradar24.com/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome take flight with these four unique characters as they surprise you with the unexpected experiences of life that make it hard to keep the blue side up. \n\nMick\, a young pilot/aircraft mechanic of a small airport in Welland also acts as the airport manager in exchange for living space above the hangar\, where he is guardian of his 13 year old sister left in his care by his deceased parents. He understands aircraft\, but not so much raising a teen sister.\nDee-J just turned 13 and is growing up in an apartment above an airport hangar while her classmates have normal lives in normal homes. But what is normal? She’s an adventurous teen who loves to fly.\nJade was abandoned by her mother as a child and grew up in the foster system. She is friends with Mick and Dee-J and occasionally helps Mick with raising Dee-J. But Mick and Jade operate completely differently making their relationship interesting. She also works part time for Mick while taking classes at college.\nDelilah is everyone’s friend and Jade’s college roommate. She’s compassionate and caring and wouldn’t have experienced half the adventures if it weren’t for her controlling and needy friend Jade.\n\nSupported by The Wright Foundation & Township of Southwold \nBlue Side Up. Play by Len Cuthbert.
