Come From Away<\/h3>\n
A musical inspired by true events<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

At 9:26 a.m. on September 11, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration shuts down U.S. airspace in response to terrorist attacks, forcing all inbound planes to find alternate destinations. In total, 38 planes are diverted to Gander,\u00a0Newfoundland, and the hospitable residents of the small Canadian town greet all 7,000 passengers with food,\u00a0clothing\u00a0and open hearts. By the time the \u201cplane people\u201d\u00a0depart, defenses are\u00a0down,\u00a0romance blooms and lifelong friendships are formed. Based on the inspiring true story of Gander\u2019s unexpected guests,\u00a0this hopeful musical honors\u00a0our common humanity and highlights the importance of reaching out to those in need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    A quick-witted comedy<\/h5>\n

    It\u2019s\u00a0been five years since divorcees Elyot and Amanda called it quits. It\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0that they\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0adore each other \u2014 their union was just too tempestuous for their own good.
