Come From Away brings to life the extraordinary true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers and the small Canadian town of Gander that welcomed them after the events of September 11, 2001. As cultures collide and emotions run high, compassion and friendship flourished against the backdrop of uncertainty. With music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, this musical celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community. The production is directed by Christopher Ashley.
