Program: Come From Away (musical) by Irene Sankoff / David Hein.
Come From Away is the remarkable musical that transforms one of history's darkest moments into a story of extraordinary human kindness. Following the events of September 11, 2001, when 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, this Tony Award-winning musical chronicles how a community with a population of 9,000 opened their hearts and homes to stranded travelers. Created by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, the show earned critical acclaim on Broadway and won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical, among other honors.
This deeply moving musical theater experience weaves together multiple storylines with Celtic-influenced folk music and energetic choreography. The cast of twelve actors portrays both the "plane people" and the generous residents of Gander, switching between dozens of characters with remarkable skill. Expect an emotional journey that balances moments of fear and uncertainty with genuine warmth, humor, and the resilience of the human spirit. The show appeals to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, offering both an accessible introduction to musical theater and a profound meditation on community and compassion.
Come From Away is touring major regional theaters across the United States, bringing this celebrated production to communities from Oregon to Massachusetts. This touring production maintains the intimate, ensemble-driven storytelling that made the Broadway version so compelling, adapted for diverse venues while preserving the show's authentic Newfoundland atmosphere and emotional impact. The tour allows audiences nationwide to experience this uniquely Canadian-American story of hope emerging from tragedy.
