Meet the Cast of COME FROM AWAY!

Kristin is honored to be stepping back into the shoes of the iconic Beverley Bass in her Farmers Alley debut!

Favorite credits include Come from Away (Beverley & others) at Short North Stage, MAMMA MIA! (both Donna & Tanya), The Cher Show (Star), and Titanic (Alice Beane). Big thanks to her family, friends, and the team at Avalon!

As always, for Dad- who was across the street from the World Trade Center on 9/11 and spent months thereafter at Ground Zero working alongside his fellow New Yorkers to help rebuild what was lost. KristinRoseKelleher.com

First rehearsal. First reunion. And what a night. ❤️

There was something incredibly special about watching members of our original Come From Away company reunite after a year, while welcoming new faces into the family. And then, just like that, they jumped right back in — and WOW. This is going to be something special.

At its heart, Come From Away is about what happens when people choose kindness, connection, and taking care of one another. We can’t think of a better story to share this holiday season — or a better time to share it.

Come From Away is coming home. ✈️
