    This breathtaking musical tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the communities in Newfoundland and Labrador that welcomed them on September 11, 2001.

    Following another tremendously successful sold-out run last summer, Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s Come From Away will return for a third season at the Joseph R. Smallwood Arts and Culture Centre in 2025. This breathtaking musical tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the communities in Newfoundland and Labrador that welcomed them on September 11, 2001. The show is produced by You are Here Inc., a Newfoundland and Labrador not-for-profit theatre company. More than 30,000 people attended in the 2023 and 2024 sold-out seasons. Come From Away previews in Gander June 29-July 5, 2025, with an official opening night on July 6th running until August 31st.  Premier  Andrew Furey says this effort celebrates the incredible kindness and compassion extended to the thousands of “come from aways” who were diverted to Gander and nearby communities in September 2001.”
