Students in grades 7 through 12 this school year: Join us for our Troupe Spring 2027 Musical: Come From Away! This show will be accompanied by a full live band, and we will perform at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in the beautiful Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater.
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, friendship, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
Students must audition for this pre-professional advanced theatre group.
