The Beef House Dinner Theatre is staging the acclaimed musical "Come From Away," which is based on true stories from the aftermath of the September 11th tragedy.
Judi Hawkins, one of the "plane people" stranded in Gander, Newfoundland for six days after her flight was diverted from Chicago, visited the theatre to share her experiences with the cast and creative team. Her firsthand account brought a profound realism to the production, deeply impacting young cast members who were born after 9/11.
The musical runs from July 24 through August 2. Various performance times are available, including evening shows and matinees. Ticket options include a show-only price or a package that includes a buffet dinner, salad, dessert, and drinks. Group rates are also offered for parties of 20 or more.
Audience members have the opportunity to engage with Hawkins and the production team during special "talk-back" sessions following select performances on July 26 and July 29. These sessions will provide further insights into the show's creation and Hawkins' unforgettable time in Gander.
