![Amelia: The Girl Who Wants to Fly by John Gray]( "_MG_7499")
- Eliza-Jane Scott as Amelia Earhart
This weekend is your final chance to catch the Festival Players production of Amelia: The Girl Who Wants to Fly at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa.
Be transported to the Golden Age of Flight – a world of planes, dreams and celebrity. Amelia is the fascinating story of the meteoric rise and mysterious disappearance of Amelia Earhart. The legendary Earhart was a pioneer of the skies, a courageous woman who defied all conventions of her time. This new hit musical from the writer that brought us Billy Bishop Goes to War, traces Amelia’s transformation from “girl next door” to iconic first woman of flight. Amelia is inspiring, entertaining and chock full of wonderful music.
“We’re so pleased to bring you a musical this season. This production from Picton’s Festival Players was a runaway hit last summer. Amelia features a knockout performance by Ottawa actress Eliza-Jane Scott. This role was tailor made for her outstanding musical and dramatic talents.” -Lise Ann Johnson | Artistic Director
Amelia: The Girl Who Wants to Fly plays from September 3rd – October 2nd, 2011 at the Great Canadian Theatre Company. Check out the GCTC the website for schedule details, www.gctc.ca.
