Come From Away tells the true story of 7,000 airline passengers stranded in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. In a moment filled with fear and uncertainty, joy and resilience prevail as the tiny community of Gander pulls together and strangers become friends. Through music, humor and heart this show celebrates the power of human connection, reminds us that kindness can bring people together in the most difficult of times, and affirms that hope can arise in the unlikeliest of places.

Reaping souls is hard. Growing up is harder.
GRIM is an irreverent, hilarious and heartbreaking world-premiere musical that celebrates life… and death.
After 300,000 years collecting souls, the Grim Reaper is retiring. All that stands between his daughter, Diana, and the big job is a simple test. That is, until she unexpectedly falls for dorky human teen Josh, and the beautiful chaos of humanity, planet Earth… and the DMV. If she loves life, can Diana really be in charge of ending it?
Led by director Sammi Cannold (Variety‘s 10 Broadway Stars to Watch, Drama Desk Award winner), the accomplished creative team includes musical comedy trailblazers Joey Orton and Brad Silnutzer, with songwriters Petro AP (Reneé Rapp, One Direction) and Scott Hoying (Pentatonix). With GRIM’s infectious score, delightfully cheeky humor and piercing insights, expect to laugh, cry, and be deeply moved.
