Come From Away auditions: July 12 & 13, 2026 at 7:00pm
The Tony Award-winning musical Come From Away is a story of kindness, joy, and hope in the face of tragedy. It tells a true story of events in Gander, Newfoundland, a small town that welcomed 7,000 stranded travelers after 9/11. As fear and uncertainty gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their hearts and homes, forging unexpected friendships and proving that even in the darkest times, compassion can shine through.
