Come From Away

The Fireside Dinner Theatre is bringing this Tony Award-winning musical to life—a feel-good story rooted in real events from September 2001. When 38 planes carrying 7,000 passengers were unexpectedly diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, locals stepped up in extraordinary ways. Despite language differences and cultural gaps, the community welcomed stranded travelers with music, hospitality, and genuine kindness, reminding everyone of our shared humanity. The production features an upbeat musical score and fast-paced storytelling that captures how meaningful friendships formed during those unexpected days. This dinner theatre experience includes a meal along with the show; packages start at $99.99 per person, with additional costs for beverages and gratuity. The Fireside also offers group rates, season tickets, and youth packages if you're planning to bring the whole family or a larger party. It's a wonderful choice for families looking to enjoy live theater alongside a meal, with performances running through late October. Contact the theatre directly for ticket availability and to explore which package works best for your group.
