Come From Away Tickets on sale!
We are pleased to announce that tickets for this years big school musical are now on sale via Wisepay, and we would love for you to come and support the students, and colleagues, who have been working so hard to bring this years show to life. The school musical has always been a huge part of our school and the students never cease to amaze us with what they manage to achieve. Following on from last year’s 4-night sell-out run of 'We Will Rock You', which received rave reviewsand has been nominated for best musical at this years National School Theatre Awards, we are pleased to announce that this year we will be producing Come From Away.
Come From Away is a heartwarming, Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical based on the true story of the week following the September 11 attacks. When U.S. airspace was closed, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were unexpectedly diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. The characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travellers they housed and fed. The musical follows the resilient locals who sheltered these stranded "come from aways" and the profound, enduring friendships that blossomed. At its core, the show is about human compassion, hospitality, and resilience. It explores how deep cultural differences and initial fear can melt away into trust and gratitude when people are brought together by extraordinary circumstances.
We hope that you come from away to join us in supporting the students who have been working incredibly hard to bring this heartwarming story to life.
Come From Away is on at 7pm on Tuesday 14th July, Wednesday 15th July, Thursday 16th July and Friday 17th July. Tickets are free for staff but we do have to charge for family I'm afraid - priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children under the age of 18 and can be purchased on Wisepay now.
