Come From Away

A Segal Centre and Thousand Islands Playhouse co-production Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein Directed and Choreographed by Stephanie Graham Music Direction by Benjamin Kersey

On 9/11, one small town welcomed the world. Based on the remarkable true story, Come From Away follows the kind-hearted people of Gander and the 7,000 passengers forced to land there when US airspace closed during the September 11 attacks.

As fear gripped the world, this small town turned strangers into family. Uneasiness became trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into lasting friendships. This uplifting Tony Award®-winning musical is a celebration of human connection and the extraordinary power of people coming together when it matters most.

Join the worldwide phenomenon loved by millions, live at the Segal Centre.

COME FROM AWAY Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
