Come From Away
Tony Award-winning musical about a small Newfoundland town that became a global refuge after 9/11.
Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of what happened in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. When 38 planes were suddenly diverted to the town's airport, thousands of stranded passengers found themselves in this small community. Rather than panic, the people of Gander opened their hearts and homes, welcoming visitors with music, hospitality, and genuine human connection despite language differences and cultural differences. It's a touching reminder that kindness and compassion can bridge any divide.
This theatrical production brings that inspiring story to life through music and heartfelt performances. The show runs multiple evenings in October, with both evening and matinee performances available, giving families flexibility in choosing when to attend. It's a wonderful choice for older children and adults who appreciate stories about community, resilience, and the goodness people can show one another during challenging times.
