AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Lebowsky Center for Performing Arts Presents: COME FROM AWAY
The Lebowsky Center for Performing Arts is excited to announce auditions for the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical Come From Away.
A global hit seen on Broadway, London’s West End, and national tours, this powerful true story celebrates humanity, kindness, and connection in the wake of tragedy.
Come From Away tells the true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers who land in Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11—and the small town that welcomes them with extraordinary generosity.
Our production will run six performances: September 11–20, 2026, opening on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
