Amid unthinkable tragedy, a small Newfoundland town comes together to make a difference, one person at a time.
On the northeast tip of North America, in the town of Gander, Newfoundland, a community receives a message. The U.S.A has shut down its airspace, forcing thousands of planes to be diverted. Among them, 38 flights full of passengers are about to land nearby, and will have nowhere to stay.
Countless “trips to Shoppers” later, the community braces for the displaced and uncertain visitors, ready to meet them with open arms, and open doors. Based on the events of September 11, 2001 (and the days that followed), Come From Away tells the true and heartwarming story of kindness in the face of unprecedented circumstances.
This award-winning Canadian musical has captured the hearts of theatregoers since its 2015 world premiere, going on to become a Tony and Olivier Award-winning modern classic. Featuring a toe-tapping and heart-thumping score including the songs "Welcome to the Rock", “Me and the Sky”, and “Heave Away”, Come From Away is a celebrated story about the power of community.
"This 'little Canadian play' needs no introduction. We are so excited to be producing a non-replica version – even if you have seen the show before, we promise to deliver the same heart you have come to love, but inside a new production and new staging by the incomparable Julie Tomaino.”
- Rachel Peake, Artistic Director of the Grand Theatre
