Come From Away is a heartwarming musical based on the true story of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, and its residents who opened hearts and homes to 7,000 stranded airline passengers after the 9/11 attacks. When 38 planes were forced to land unexpectedly, the people of Gander responded with kindness, hospitality and generosity.
The musical explores the themes of community, resilience, and the power of human connection, highlighting how strangers become family in the face of adversity. With a vibrant folk-inspired score and an ensemble cast portraying multiple characters, Come From Away celebrates the spirit of compassion and unity in the midst of crisis.
