On September 11, 2001, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 people are diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. With little warning, residents of the small town open their schools, community halls and homes to travelers from around the world.

An ensemble of actors moves rapidly between the locals and the “come from aways,” capturing five extraordinary days of uncertainty, culture clashes, unexpected humor and connection. Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s Olivier Award-winning musical pairs a driving, Celtic-inspired score with a clear-eyed account of ordinary people facing an unprecedented crisis together.

Playing at the East Sonora Theatre, 13891 Mono Way, Sonora, CA, 1/4 mile east of The Junction Shopping Center.
