COME FROM AWAY
Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein

On September 11, 2001, 38 diverted airplanes landed in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland — nearly doubling its population overnight. Without hesitation, this tight-knit community threw open their doors, feeding and sheltering 7,000 frightened strangers from across the globe. Propelled by a rousing score and an impossibly warm heart, Come From Away transforms one of history's darkest days into a radiant celebration of human decency. A story about fear and grief, but above all about ordinary people choosing, without hesitation, to be extraordinary.
*Our ASL interpreted performance + Audio Descriptions will be held on February 18.
