Come from Away
by Zach Theatre

Aug. 19 - Sep. 27
Wednesdays-Sundays

When 7,000 airline passengers were diverted on 9/11, a tiny town in Newfoundland welcomed them with open arms. Locals didn't hesitate to invite the "come from awayers" into their homes and their lives in the days that followed. This Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon sweeps audiences into a communal experience that's as warm, lively, and spirited as the people of Gander. Driven by an infectious Celtic folk and bluegrass-inspired score, Come From Away shines a light on the very best of humanity in a story that's impossible to forget. As the Newfoundlanders say, you'll have "a time!"

Closing the 2025-26 Season, Come From Away celebrates human endurance, compassion, and bravery in the face of world-changing events. Since opening on Broadway in 2017, this musical has become a global phenomenon, sharing the true stories of real people in a heartfelt story of resilience.
