Come From Away: Auditions on June 21 & June 22
About the Show. COME FROM AWAY is a rock-infused world-premiere musical based on the true story of Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes were unexpectedly diverted on September 11, 2001. As thousands of stranded passengers arrived, the town welcomed them with music, generosity, and a powerful sense of shared humanity.
Important Info. This is a physically and mentally demanding ensemble show with no intermission. Most actors are on stage throughout and must be comfortable with athletic movement, light choreography, and singing without vibrato. Expect to stand on and move chairs and tables as part of cinematic-style transitions.
We’ll work with a range of dialects, with a focus on Newfoundland. Age range is “read as.” Open, inclusive casting—actors of all genders, abilities, and backgrounds are encouraged to submit. Bring you to the role.

NOTE on the COVERS/ENSEMBLE. Being a swing/cover/standby for Come From Away have been named one of the hardest roles in showbiz. Covers in this production are being considered ensemble members as we are looking to add them to the Opening, Screech, Finale and possible other moments, TBD. This is a great challenge for the actor requiring self-determination and solo work as well as group-work with your fellow covers/ensemble members. We will schedule rehearsal time for you and are planning an invited on stage rehearsal for you to perform one or two of your chosen tracks. The breakdown of covers may shift depending on the artists who are cast so please choose the tracks you think you best fit as you prepare in auditions. Thank you for your time!
