We are thrilled to announce, earlier than expected, COME FROM AWAY will be our first show of the 2027 season!

The Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical by Irene Sankoff and David Hein tells the true story of the 7,000 airline passengers stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, after the 9/11 attacks. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander welcomed the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

Directed by Ken Clark
