We’re thrilled to announce our production team for Come From Away! Keep an eye out for our information evening and auditions, coming later this year.

We are delighted to announce that our Summer 2026 musical will be Come From Away. It’s the true story of what happened when 38 planes were redirected to the remote island of Newfoundland when the US airspace is closed in the aftermath of 9/11, and a celebration of the power of community and kindness.

If you would like to direct, musical direct, or choreograph Come From Away, please email chair@festivalplayers.org to express your interest. The deadline is Monday 30 June. Applicants will be invited to speak to our committee on 16 July.

We’ll see you all down the legion in Gander 4-13 June 2026
