Gander’s Unforgettable Acts of Kindness | Tampa News

When 38 grounded planes landed in tiny Gander, Newfoundland, on 9/11/01, the town’s residents rose to the challenge—doubling their population overnight and offering shelter, food, and compassion without hesitation. This heartwarming story, brought to life in the musical “Come From Away,” celebrates human resilience and kindness amid tragedy. Now playing at Central Park Performing Arts Center in Largo through Sept 13, the show’s message of unity grows even more powerful as we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Plus: first responders and service members can attend the final dress rehearsal for free—just register by noon on the day. A moving reminder that even in darkness, humanity shines brightest.
