Sedlescombe Players are thrilled to announce the forthcoming production of the hit musical “Come from Away” book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Heim. Do not miss this heart-warming, multi award-winning and totally unique show based on a remarkable and true story. Everyone knows about ‘9-11’ but few know that when the United States closed its airspace, 38 planes carrying nearly 7000 passengers from around the world were unexpectedly diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, nearly doubling the population overnight. The show follows both the stranded ‘Come from Aways’ and the townspeople who opened their homes, schools and hearts to care for them. The musical celebrates human kindness, resilience and community spirit in the face of tragedy and gives hope in today’s unsettled world. Dates for the show in Sedlescombe Village Hall .
