Come From Away

Arts Express Theatre - Mainstage / Jun 19, 2026 - Jul 12, 2026

About the Show

A story of kindness in the face of tragedy, Come From Away is the true story of a small Newfoundland town that welcomed 7,000 stranded travelers after 9/11. As fear and uncertainty gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their hearts, forging unexpected friendships and proving that even in the darkest times, compassion can shine through. With a soaring score and unforgettable storytelling, this Tony Award-winning musical is a deeply moving and unexpectedly joyful celebration of human connection, resilience, and the extraordinary power of generosity. Ages 10+. While not explicitly showing violence, this show directly references September 11, 2001, features minor profanity, some alcohol consumption, and intense emotional themes
