Come from Away

Come from Away is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. It is based on the town of Gander, Newfoundland following the September 11 attacks when 38 planes had to unexpectedly land in the small town as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon. The townspeople of Gander housed and fed the stranded passengers, who nearly doubled the population of the town. Following successful runs at the La Jolla Playhouse and the Seattle Repertory Theatre in 2015, the play appears in 2016 at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, and will then debut on Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in March 2017.
