SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Let There Be Balloons is a musical story that centers around Sarah, a rebellious young woman who returns to her hometown after a tumultuous time in Africa, working as a volunteer. Leaving one kind of chaos, she enters a new one as the town is facing a disaster- the closing of the local balloon factory. Sarahʼs father is amongst the majority of the town that has been laid off – representing the idea that old school thinking may not work in this new world. Ultimately, she takes a huge leap to restart her own family financially by giving birth to a new family as she becomes a surrogate mother for a gay couple from New York. Will Sarahʼs family and the town ever be the same? Is change the only thing that can save them?
