Chickasaw Civic Theatre presents ‘Come From Away’

Chickasaw Civic Theatre presents the musical Come From Away opening September 10 and running through September 20, 2026.

Moments after the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001, U.S. airspace was closed. Planes on lengthy flights didn’t have enough fuel to get back where they started.

One after another, 38 planes were diverted to a remote air base in Gander, Newfoundland. Everyone was mystified; everyone was terrified. Nobody knew what was going on. And they were stuck on the planes.

When the world seemed darkest, the people of Gander took those 7,000 strangers under their wings — with a place to stay and plenty to eat, medicine, clothing and comfort. Even the pets were rescued from luggage holds and taken to shelter.

Come From Away tells the remarkable stories of the stranded passengers and the warm-hearted Gander residents. Cast members Lesley Anne Roberts and John Hutchinson joined us on Studio 10 to tell us more about this show.
