Topeka Civic Theatre is holding adult auditions for our Oldfather Theatre Studio production of Come From Away, the Tony Award–winning musical based on an extraordinary true story of kindness, resilience, and human connection.
About the ShowOn September 11, 2001, the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland suddenly became home to the world. When 38 planes carrying thousands of passengers were diverted to their airstrip, the people of Gander opened their doors, hearts, and community to strangers from across the globe. Through music, humor, and compassion, Come From Away tells the story of how ordinary people came together in an extraordinary moment, reminding us that we are all part of a global family.
