Enjoy a little slice of Broadway right in our own backyard. We are traveling to Paramount Theater in Aurora to see Come From Away. Welcome to the rock – a safe space at the end of the world. Nominated for 7 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. 9/11/2001… 38 airplanes, 6,579 stranded passengers from 100 countries converge in 1 small town in Newfoundland. Before they have a clue, what’s happening, thousands of passengers are diverted to the town of Gander, doubling its population and putting the townsfolk to the test. Based on astonishing true events and hundreds of hours of interviews with the townspeople and the “come from aways” (aka stranded passengers) who were welcomed with open arms, you’ll experience the spirit of small-town generosity that helped the healing begin. Full of songs that celebrate kinship and grit, the Come From Away’s message is simple and significant: in this day and age, it’s more important than ever for kindness to reach across the borders. Lunch will be on your own and self-pay. Minimal walking is involved with this trip. Registration/cancellation deadline: September 8 (spaces permitting). Transportation provided via Park District van.
Registration for this program/event begins at 9:00am on 8/19 for residents and 8/22 for non-residents.
