*Sat, July 12 - After-show Talk Story with Kevin Tuerff (the "real Kevin T") immediately following the show. Kevin Tuerff wrote the book "Channel of Peace: Stranded in Gander on 9/11" which the musical Come From Away was based on.

Welcome to the rock!

COME FROM AWAY tells the true story of when seven thousand people from across America and around the world landed on the doorstep of Gander, Newfoundland… and the people of Gander “put the kettle on.” When 38 planes were diverted to a small, Canadian community on September 11th, 2001, the town’s population doubled in an instant. While the world witnessed the worst acts of humankind, the stranded passengers had their faith in humanity restored by the spirited people who comforted those who had come from away.

COME FROM AWAY is a musical, with book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.

*Due to mature themes/language, Come From Away is recommended for ages 10 and up.

Presented by ProArts Playhouse and Maui OnStage

**A Special 2025 Pride Month Screening of the 2024 performance of the live play.
Based on the true story of one Honolulu Hotel Street prostitute’s harrowing journey chronicles the highs and lows of 1970s life on the outside of convention, as written with biting, beautiful honesty by Maui’s own Moses Goods, of NCIS: Hawaii and Jason Momoa’s upcoming Chief of War.
Hawai‘i in the 1970s.  A time of reclamation, discovery and pride.  For Lovey Lee, a young queer Hawaiian, the 70s is about finding a place where they can just be.  With Hawaiʻi’s cultural renaissance at its peak and with the sexual liberation movement booming throughout the nation, there is perhaps no better time to explore life, identity and freedom.  But the journey of any brave pioneer is often complicated and fraught with challenges.  In this coming-of-age story, Lovey finds themself journeying from their safe island home to the invigorating streets of San Francisco to the dark alleys of Hotel Street and back again in their search for place.
