Come From Away

About

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover when thousands of people were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travellers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. Amidst the chaos, deep bonds form: a pilot reflects on her changing world, two strangers find unexpected romance, and a mother finds solace in a local friend while awaiting news of her son. This heartwarming musical celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the profound kindness found in a time of darkness.
