SUMMARY:Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:COME FROM AWAY\n\n“Suddenly everything’s high. Suddenly there’s nothing in between me and the sky.”\n\nIn the face of unimaginable tragedy\, ordinary people chose extraordinary kindness. Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of Gander\, Newfoundland\, where a small town opened its doors to thousands of stranded travelers on September 11\, 2001. As cultures collided and uncertainty loomed\, the people of Gander responded not with fear\, but with generosity – offering food\, shelter\, music\, and a powerful reminder of our shared humanity.\n\nThis acclaimed musical celebrates the heroic acts found in compassion\, hospitality\, and connection. Come From Away reminds us that even in the darkest moments\, the simple choice to care for one another can be the most profound act of all – and that heroism often lives in the everyday goodness of people willing to say\, “You are not alone.”\n\n“…a gently miraculous masterpiece…” – Time Out\n\n“…takes a true story that began on September 11th\, 2001\, and tells it in an exhilarating fashion that celebrates decency and human kindness.” – Broadway World\n\nBook\, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein\n\nOriginal Broadway production produced by Junkyard Dog Productions\nOrchestrations by August Eriksmoen\nArrangements by Ian Eisendrath\n\nDirected by TBA\n\nJune 4th-20th\, 2027\nFridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm\nSundays at 2:00pm\n\nASL Interpreted Performance: June 12th\, 7:30pm\nPay What You Can/Industry Night: June 13th\, 7:30pm\n\nwww.lakewoodplayhouse.org
