On September 11, 2001, 38 planes were diverted to Gander, a town of roughly 9,000 people. Suddenly, its residents were caring for some 7,000 unexpected visitors from around the world. They opened their homes, shared their food and transformed five days of fear and uncertainty into a singular demonstration of generosity. With its infectious, folk-influenced score, kinetic storytelling and deeply human characters, Come From Away is a testament to the best aspects of human nature

The 12-member ensemble, which includes Geoff Elliott , Lesley Fera, Amber Liekhus , Kasey Mahaffy , Ed F. Martin, Trisha Miller , Nathan Mohebbi, Cassandra Marie Murphy , David Nevell , Desmond Newson , Julianna Picasso, Hannah Sedlacek and Juliana Sloan, creates an entire community onstage, moves fluidly between the people of Newfoundland and the 'come from aways' who suddenly find themselves far from home. In A Noise Within's 324-seat theater, audiences experience this exceptional story of generosity and connection at unusually close range.

Performances of continue through Nov. 8. For more information, go to www.anoisewithin.org .
