COME FROM AWAY

SYNOPSIS:

In the days following September 11, 2001, 38 planes were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland—nearly doubling its population overnight. Come From Away tells the true story of strangers who became family through generosity, humor, and shared humanity. Fast-paced, ensemble-driven, and deeply moving.

Age: 40 to 60. Vocal range (top): G4.

Bonnie & others: A no-nonsense mother of three, Bonnie is the head of the Gander area SPCA. When she discovers animals are trapped on the planes, she stops at nothing to ensure their safety—but in frustration, she often lashes out at those around her. Doubles as Martha. Gender: Female.
