What began as an average day in the town of Gander, Newfoundland, turned into an international five-day 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 welcomed the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. Based on the remarkable true story that took place in an isolated community, Come From Away is a Tony and Grammy nominated musical about the power of community—not just as a geographical concept, but as a human one. Gander’s residents showed that even in the face of global crisis, ordinary people can do extraordinary things simply by choosing to care for others. Featuring an enduringly relevant script accompanied by a deeply moving score, this production will be one not to miss.
