Get Away with Come From Away at the GEM!
Flying Out Soon
Another One? Productions is proud to announce that the hit Broadway musical Come From Away is finally making its way to the GEM Theater in Spring of 2023! Nominated for 8 Tony Awards and 9 Drama Desk Awards, this heartwarming true story that celebrates compassion, and the human ability to endure and band together under terrible circumstances is coming right here to Garden Grove to once more bring us all together in the must-see theatre event of the year!
What is Come From Away about?
In the wake of the terrorist attacks that shook our nation to its very core on September 11th, 2001, the US closes its airspace, forcing 38 international passenger jets with 7,000 passengers to divert and land unexpectedly in Gander, a small town in Newfoundland with a population of 9,000. Come From Away follows a group of passengers and the Gander residents that sprang into action to clothe, feed, and welcome into their homes the stranded passengers as they slowly bond with the eccentric citizens of Gander with music, laughter, and joy in their hearts, creating lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.

Casting
Another One? Productions is looking to cast 20 actors 18+ years of all ethnicities and genders. Actors must be comfortable with movement and doing accents, particularly Canadian. Come From Away is first and foremost a global story, and to reflect that, we want an incredibly diverse cast to represent the brave men and women who lived through this turbulent time in America’s history.
Why Come From Away?
In light of recent current events, we here at One More Productions feel that it is more important now than ever that we, as a society, should come together and celebrate each other and remind ourselves of our accomplishments in the face of adversity. Come From Away tells the brave story of nearly 20,000 people who did just that, who, in the darkest of times, found peace and laughter among their fellow brothers and sisters. By putting on this musical, we hope to be the beacon of light and hope for those who truly need a friend in the world.
