COME FROM AWAY to Open at Playhouse on the Square

Running August 15th, 2025 - September 14th, 2025.

By:
COME FROM AWAY to Open at Playhouse on the Square

An incredible true story of the 7,000 stranded passengers forced to land in a small town in Newfoundland due to the emergency closure of US airspace on 9/11/2001. This New York Times Critics’ pick tells the story of townspeople as their hospitality is put to the test in welcoming the overwhelming number of new guests. Cultures begin to clash, and each new day makes tensions run higher, but that uneasiness will soon become trust, and a simple “Thank you” to a stranger will become eternal gratitude to an endearing friend.
