Come From Away Book, Music and Lyrics by: Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Come From Away recounts how the small community of Gander, Newfoundland responded with remarkable kindness after Sept. 11, 2001. When 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were diverted there, residents opened their homes, shared their culture, and offered comfort and stability. Their generosity created a home away from home for stranded travelers and showed the power of compassion in a global community.
