Our Current Show
"Come From Away"
26th April - 1st May 2027
We are busy rehearsing our next production - Come From Away tagged as the 'Best Musical of the Century' based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 attacks, when 38 planes, carrying approximately 7,000 passengers, were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport.
The characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travelers they housed and fed.
Whether you're a fan of the show or simply love a good musical, this is a theatrical treat that promises to rise to the occasion.Tickets are also already on sale, so get yours now
