Come from Away is a thrilling and heartfelt musical based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
Farmers Alley Theatre and Air Zoo will host Connor Farry: The Story Behind COME FROM AWAY on October 18 at 2 p.m. in Portage, MI. The free community event features Farry, whose real-life experience as a child passenger diverted to Gander on 9/11 helped inspire the Tony-winning musical Come From Away.
Farmers Alley Theatre is presenting Come from Away. Come from Away is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It is based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 attacks, when 38 planes, carrying approximately 7,000 passengers, were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport.
