Theatre Raleigh has released first look footage of COME FROM AWAY, the beloved musical that runs April 1 through 19, 2026.

Come From Away is based on a true story of when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small Canadian town turned into an international sleep-over when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from across the globe, were diverted to Gander's air strip on September 11th, 2001.

Theatre Raleigh will present the musical Come From Away, with tickets now available for purchase. This production features a cast of Broadway and local theater veterans, bringing a powerful story of humanity and resilience to the stage.
