Community. Connection. Courage. Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander&rsquo;s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we&rsquo;re all part of a global family. Directed by MaryCatherine Moroney and Lucas Clooten, this Fairbanks-premiere is an inspiring production about communities banding together, hope in the midst of sorrow, and connection in times of need. Featured performers include Fairbanks&#39; own Caitlin Warbelow along with returning guest artist and honorary Alaskan, James Yoshizawa. Book, Music, and Lyrics byt IRENE SANKOFF and DAVID HEINOriginal Broadway Production Produced by Junkyard Dog ProductionsOrchestrations by August EriksmoenArrangements by Ian EisendrathCOME FROM AWAY is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
