  • "Come From Away" - Performance On The Guthrie Theater Proscenium Stage

    At 9:26 AM on September 11, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration shut down U.S. airspace in response to terrorist attacks, forcing all inbound planes to find alternate destinations. In total, 38 planes are diverted to Gander Newfoundland, and the hospitable residents of the small Canadian town greet all 7,000 passengers with food, clothing and open hearts. By the time the "plane people" depart, defenses are down, romance blooms and lifelong friendships are formed. Based on the inspiring true story of Gander's unexpected guests, this joyful musical honors our common humanity and highlights the importance of reaching out to those in need. This trip includes lunch at Dangerfields in Shakopee.
