COME FROM AWAY

The NWTAC Players are proud to bring to the stage the remarkable and uplifting hit musical Come From Away, in collaboration with SICK! Festival, following the previous award-winning success with RENT back in May 2024.

​

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.

​

Told through joyous music, heartfelt storytelling, and an ensemble cast bringing dozens of characters to life, Come From Away is a moving celebration of compassion, community, and humanity at its best.

​

This is a story of kindness in the darkest of times, and one you’ll never forget. Don’t miss this extraordinary theatrical experience.
