Book, Music, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff & David Hein
In the days following 9/11, stranded airline passengers find themselves in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland—where strangers become friends and kindness knows no bounds. Filled with heart, humor, and soaring music, this remarkable true story celebrates the power of community in the face of uncertainty.

CONTENT advisory & AGE RECOMMENDATION
This production contains emotional but ultimately inspiring themes, including depictions of community, resilience, anxiety, and grief.

This production is recommended for ages 10+. Lakeshore does not “rate” productions, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
