Come From Away - Live On Stage

Come From Away is a critically acclaimed musical written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein that tells the remarkable true story of what happened in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. When U.S. airspace was closed, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Gander, almost doubling the town’s population overnight. The musical focuses on the compassion, kindness, and resilience of the Gander residents as they welcomed and cared for the stranded travelers, known locally as "come from aways," over the course of five days. The show features a small ensemble cast who portray both locals and passengers, using minimal sets and energetic folk-inspired music to create an intimate yet powerful theatrical experience. Praised for its uplifting message and emotional depth, Come From Away has enjoyed successful runs on Broadway, the West End, and around the world, earning numerous awards and resonating with audiences as a celebration of humanity in the face of tragedy.
