Come From Away

Town of Gananoque — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:58:16 -0400

Tuesday, September 22, 2026 - 7:30pm - Sunday, November 1, 2026 - 2:00pm

Venue: Springer Theatre, Thousand Islands Playhouse
Dates: September 22 – November 1, 2026

38 planes. 7,000 passengers. One small town.

Come From Away is based on the remarkable real-life events following September 11 attacks, when thousands of travellers were unexpectedly diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. As fear gripped the world, the people of this small town opened their arms in an extraordinary act of generosity.

Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music filled the air, and gratitude grew into lasting friendships. This Tony Award–winning musical is a moving celebration of small-town kindness and the power of everyday people.

Evening performances at 7:30 PM (Tuesday–Saturday)

Matinees at 2:00 PM on Thursdays and Sundays
