This Week: Broadway's COME FROM AWAY To Host Donation Drive For Covenant House

Covenant House provides shelter and services to homeless, runaway and at-risk youth ages 16-22. Hancock Whitney Broadway in New Orleans is inviting theatre goers to donate the following suggested new toiletry items to help the residents of Covenant House:

For a full list of possible donation items, please visit www.covenanthousenola.org/covenant-house-wish-list/. Donation drops will be located throughout the Saenger Theatre arcade during the New Orleans engagement of COME FROM AWAY.
COME FROM AWAY tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all.
The performance schedule for COME FROM AWAY is as follows:
- Tuesday Thursday: 7:30 p.m.
- Friday: 8 p.m.
- Saturday: 2 p.m., 8 p.m.
- Sunday: 1 p.m., 6:30 p.m.
