On September 11, 2001, the world stopped. On September 12, a small Newfoundland town started bringing people together. Come From Awaytells the true story of 7,000 stranded airplane passengers welcomed by a community that turned fear into friendship and strangers into family. Filled with heart, humor, and a spirited score, this Tony-winning musical with book, music, and lyrics by David Hein and Irene Sankoff is a celebration of kindness, resilience, and the power of human connection.
