Following the attacks on 9/11, 38 planes were diverted to the small town of Gander on the island of Newfoundland. Come from Away is an award-winning musical that tells the story of those 7,000 stranded passengers and the people who welcomed them. This program features special guests who were instrumental in bringing this moving story of human kindness to the Broadway stage.
