Synopsis

Saltwater Performing Arts’ Encore program presents Come From Away, the ensemble musical inspired by the true story of thousands of travelers grounded in Gander, Newfoundland after September 11, 2001.

As fear and uncertainty ripple around the world, a small community opens its homes, schools and gathering places to strangers. The musical moves quickly between dozens of lives, finding humor, grief and generosity in an extraordinary act of hospitality.
