Join MRP For This Historical Musical
Come From Away is more than a musical — it’s a heartfelt tribute to extraordinary human kindness during one of history’s darkest days. The Tony-nominated show (book, music, and lyrics by Canadian husband-and-wife team Irene Sankoff and David Hein) tells the true story of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, which welcomed nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers after U.S. airspace closed on September 11, 2001.
