Come From Away at West Potomac HS

The hit musical runs until November 14.

Beyond the Page Theatre Company at West Potomac High School is proud to announce our fall musical production of Come From Away, running November 5-14.

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

With an award-winning book and score by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together, no matter what the circumstances.
