About this event
The uplifting true story that inspired the world - and the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, 7,000 airline passengers were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, where the community opened their arms to strangers from around the globe.
What to expect
With book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away turns a remarkable true story into a musical about fear, grief, hospitality and unexpected connection. Omaha Community Playhouse describes the production as filled with soaring music, heartfelt humor and memorable characters, while also noting the story’s themes of terrorism, loss and national tragedy.
Why go
This Omaha Community Playhouse production offers a chance to see a Broadway musical rooted in compassion and resilience on the Hawks Mainstage. The story centers on how ordinary people in Gander met an extraordinary moment with practical kindness, making Come From Away a strong pick for theatergoers drawn to ensemble storytelling and human-scale history.
