Totem Pole Playhouse is proud to present the Regional Premiere of one of the most uplifting and celebrated musicals of the modern era—Come From Away.
In the days following September 11, 2001, when the United States closed its airspace, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were unexpectedly grounded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. What happened next became one of the most remarkable and heartwarming stories to emerge from that difficult week. The people of Gander—population just 9,000—opened their homes, schools, churches, and kitchens to complete strangers, proving that even in moments of uncertainty and fear, kindness and generosity can bring people together.
Many people say, “We remember September 11th—but we miss the feeling of September 12th.” Come From Away is the story of September 12th. It’s the story of neighbors helping neighbors, strangers becoming family, and a community that reminded the world what compassion truly looks like.
Winner of multiple Tony Awards and beloved by audiences around the globe, Come From Away is filled with powerful storytelling, humor, soaring music, and unforgettable characters. The show moves at a thrilling pace, with a talented cast portraying dozens of real people whose lives intersected during those extraordinary days.
For audiences in small-town America, this story feels especially close to home. It celebrates the same values we hold dear—community, generosity, resilience, and the simple idea that when people need help, you show up.
By the end of the evening, you’ll laugh, you may shed a few tears, and you’ll leave the theatre reminded of the goodness that still exists in the world.
Don’t miss the Regional Premiere of this remarkable musical when Come From Away arrives at Totem Pole Playhouse in 2026—a powerful, moving celebration of humanity, hope, and the strength of community.
