You are here at the start of a moment
In the hours following September 11, 2001, uncertainty sweeps the globe. The remote town of Gander, Newfoundland, unexpectedly becomes the landing strip to 38 planes carrying 7,000 travelers. With its population doubled and no time to prepare, the people of Gander open their homes, their hearts, and their lives to these stranded strangers. This Tony and Olivier Award–winning musical, based on an astonishing true story, unfolds through a compelling, folk-inspired score and a cast of remarkable real-life characters. A heart-forward, joyful celebration of resilience, Come From Away reminds audiences of all ages of the power of creating a community as you’re finding a way home.
The visitors respond to the images of the 09/11/2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. A Muslim character is attacked, questioned, and searched for being Muslim and not speaking English. Visitors struggle to reach their loved ones and a mother loses her son who was a firefighter responding to the tragedy.
Adult Content:There is adult content. 38 planes touch down in Gander after the U.S. airspace has closed due to the 9/11 attack. We watch all of Gander come to their visitors aid with food, shelter, water, community, and boozes.
3/6 STARS
Sexual Conent: The women flash the locals from the airplane. Diane and Nick share a few kisses.
Language: There is some strong language. Word Counts: Fuck 3X, Shit 1X, Holy Shit 1X, Damn 1X, Ass 1X, Hell 1X
