Discover life as an islander with the story of the 38 planes
that were diverted to Gander on September 11, 2001.

Book, Music, and Lyrics by: Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Based on real people and actual events that happened the day of and the days following September 11, 2001.


Synopsis

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 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
