Kansas City Repertory Theater’s new production of “Come From Away” is top notch in every possible way. “Come From Away” is about how one remote Canadian town rallied in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America to embrace neighbors they could not have imagined they shared on the day before.

The story begins with Joan (Karen Leigh), a well to do mother and wife who lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. As she begins to tell her “where were you” account about that morning, I notice members of the audience nodding and nudging one another – if we were old enough to remember that day, we are all immediately back there.

Come From Away is the musical we need right now. As political tensions mount, we need to remember the kindness shown by our neighbor Canada during a most critical time for our United States. Director Rick Bumgardner tells us the “spine” of this show is the word “Goodwill.” We would do well to remember the lessons of 9/11, as well as the Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

This is a production that will make you laugh and cry, that reminds us of both the worst parts of being human and the best most inspiring parts of being human. Come From Away at Theatre Harrisburg is a show you do not want to miss.
