Come From Away at Live Arts through 11/15

In a narrative brimming with tragedy, resiliency, and community, Come From Away offers a poignant story set to a moving musical score. Based on real-life events, the Edward Warwick White-directed production takes place on September 11, 2001, in Gander, Newfoundland. As 38 planes are diverted from their paths, the small Canadian town plays host to thousands of stranded and anxious travelers from around the world. Friendships form as strangers come together to support each other in the face of fear and confusion. $20–30, times vary. Live Arts, 123 E. Water St. livearts.org
