AUDITION - Come from Away

Thank you for your interest in auditioning for MHMT’s production of Come From Away. All of the information you will need for the auditions is linked to this page.

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. September 11, 2001 started as an average day in a small town and unexpectedly turned into an international sleepover when 38 planes, carrying 7000 people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip when US airspace closed.  Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander took small-town hospitality to another level as they welcomed the 7000 stranded travelers - recognizing that we’re all part of a global family. 

Twelve actors tell the story of both the Islanders and the “Plane People" (the Come from Aways), revealing not only the fear and uncertainty that came with the terrorist attacks, but the profound generosity and compassion of strangers.
