Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Holiday Actors with a Special Production of Come From Away!
The Tony and Olivier Award-winning Broadway musical Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 airline passengers stranded in the aftermath of 9/11 and the small Canadian town that welcomed them with open arms. When US airspace was abruptly closed, the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, found itself playing host to strangers from around the world — a group affectionately known as 'come from aways'.
Though cultures clashed and tensions ran high at first, what unfolded was a powerful journey of human connection. Suspicion gave way to trust, music filled the air and acts of kindness forged friendships that would last a lifetime.
This heart-warming production brings to life the real residents of Gander and the stranded travellers they embraced, with characters often sharing the names and stories of their real-life counterparts. What began as an ordinary day in a remote town became an extraordinary testament to compassion, reminding us that, in moments of crisis, we are all part of a global family.
Join us in celebrating Holiday Actors' 40th Anniversary with a special performance of Come From Away! The production features two incredible casts, each performing across six exciting shows. Both casts showcase exceptionally talented individuals who have played integral roles in Holiday Actors' rich history—whether as past performers, backstage crew, or key contributors over the years. Don't miss this unforgettable celebration of talent, community, and theater!"
