About the show:
Come From Away is a heartfelt and uplifting musical inspired by the true events that unfolded after September 11, 2001, when thousands of airline passengers were unexpectedly stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. As residents open their homes and hearts to strangers from around the world, fear and uncertainty give way to compassion, humor, and lasting human connection. Filled with stirring music and remarkable true stories, the show celebrates kindness, resilience, and the extraordinary bonds that can form in the most unexpected moments. 

Note: The language in Come From Away includes occasional strong words used in emotional or realistic contexts, reflecting the stress and urgency of the events surrounding September 11, 2001. The script is not heavily profane, but audiences can expect: occasional use of words such as “damn,” “hell,” and stronger language including a few instances of the F-word; references to fear, terrorism, and the emotional aftermath of 9/11; some mature emotional themes and intense moments.

Come From Away runs about 105 minutes, no intermission.
