Come From Away Returns with Heart | Dayton News

Come From Away is back at La Comedia Dinner Theatre, delivering a heartwarming, tear-jerking, laugh-out-loud tribute to resilience and human connection. Based on the true story of Gander, Newfoundland, where thousands were stranded after 9/11, this ensemble masterpiece has no single star—every actor transforms seamlessly between roles with just a hat or accent shift. With no intermission and a minimalist set that magically becomes planes, buses, and bars, the show keeps energy high and emotion raw. Highlights include the soulful “Me and the Sky” and the uplifting “Screech In,” while characters like Beulah, Bonnie, a rookie reporter, and a multitasking cop bring depth and humor. Perfectly timed for the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it’s a powerful reminder of how strangers become family in crisis—and you’ll leave humming, heart full, and eyes a little wet. Running through September 27. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
