38 planes. 7,000 passengers. One small town. A proud reminder of what it means to be Canadian.
Come From Away is based on the remarkable real-life events following 9/11, when thousands of travellers were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. As fear gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their arms. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness became trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into lasting friendships.
Filled with undeniable Canadian charm and memorable songs, this globally acclaimed Tony Award®-winning musical reminds us that even in the darkest moments, strangers can become a community. Don’t miss this celebration of small-town kindness and the inherent goodness in all of us.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
