Come From Away

When the unthinkable happens on September 11, 2001, 38 planes are suddenly diverted to the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland, doubling its population overnight. Chaos looms— but instead, something remarkable happens, proving that compassion can outshine crisis. Come From Away is a high-energy, heartwarming musical with a soaring folk-rock score and a true story that will leave you inspired.
