Whether it’s your first time or fifth time, you won’t want to miss this unique production in our intimate space.

Strap in for a whirlwind journey with "Come From Away," the true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them with open arms. When 38 planes are diverted to the tiny town of Gander on 9/11, the locals and the "come from aways" find themselves in an unexpected and unforgettable adventure.

With high-energy numbers like "Welcome to the Rock," where the townsfolk rally together to face the chaos, and "Me and the Sky," a powerful solo that tells the story of the first female American Airlines captain, you'll be swept up in the raw emotion and resilience of these characters. And don't miss "Screech In," a hilarious initiation into Newfoundland culture that will have you laughing out loud.

As the passengers and townspeople navigate the confusion, fear, and ultimately, the incredible kindness that emerges from tragedy, "Come From Away" delivers a punch of heart, humor, and humanity. So, get ready for a musical that's as edgy as it is uplifting, and discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.
