BRIGHTON, N.Y. (WROC) - JCC CenterStage Theatre is getting ready to begin its 50th season with the Broadway hit Come From Away. The musical is a true story based on September 11, 2001, when thousands of flight passengers had to make an emergency landing in Canada following the terror attacks.
Out of the 9/11 tragedy came many stories of hope and resilience – including one from the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. Their story of kindness in the face of tragedy is the basis of the musical “Come From Away”, which made its Broadway debut almost 10 years ago.
It especially impacted a small Canadian town after dozens of planes carrying thousands of passengers were diverted there immediately after the attacks.
Billings Studio Theatre presents the musical that tells the true story of when 7,000 passengers from around the world on 38 planes were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland and changed forever.
25 years ago, when the 9/11 attacks happened here in the U.S., a small town in Newfoundland saw it's population temporarily increase from about 7,000 people to around 13,000 people.
