Come From Away is the uplifting, heart-soaring musical that tells the remarkable true story of the tiny Newfoundland town of Gander and the 7,000 unexpected guests who landed on their doorstep in the days following September 11, 2001. As fear and uncertainty ripple across the world, the people of Gander open their homes and their hearts, proving that kindness can rise from the darkest of moments.

With just twelve actors portraying both the stranded “Plane People” and the extraordinary locals who sheltered them, Come From Away celebrates humanity at its best, resilience, unity, and the quiet courage of everyday compassion. This is not a September 11th story, but a September 12th story: a testament to the power of community and the bonds that change us forever.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this production offers a moment to reflect, remember, and honour those impacted, while also celebrating the extraordinary kindness that emerged in the days that followed.

This heartfelt production is proudly performed by Barnstaple Musical Comedy and Dramatic Society, bringing their passion, warmth, and spirit to this extraordinary true story.
