Come From Away – Arvada Center

Based on an extraordinary true story, Come From Away chronicles how the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. Filled with traditional Irish folk music and stirring ballads, this breathtaking musical is a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

An average day turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes were diverted to Gander’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’re all part of a global family.
