Once tickets are purchased, we cannot issue refunds due to seat reservation fees. Transportation is provided and factored into the ticket price to cover bus costs. The bus will leave the CHPS District Office at noon on Sunday, August 2nd. Please arrive by 11:45 a.m. The bus will return to CHPS around 4:00 p.m. Important notice: participants will need to use steep steps to get into the bus, and there is a bit of a walk to get into the theater from the bus drop-off in front of the building.
Musical Description:
At 9:26 a.m. on September 11, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration shuts down U.S. airspace in response to terrorist attacks, forcing all inbound planes to find alternate destinations. In total, 38 planes are diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, and the hospitable residents of the small Canadian town greet all 7,000 passengers with food, clothing and open hearts. By the time the “plane people” depart, defenses are down, romance blooms and lifelong friendships are formed. Based on the inspiring true story of Gander’s unexpected guests, this hopeful musical honors our common humanity and highlights the importance of reaching out to those in need.
