The home of musical theatre in Farnham since 1928

FAOS Musical Theatre Group presents: Come from Away

A reminder for your diaries…. After our emotional telling of the story of the Calendar Girls of the Yorkshire WI, it’s time to tell another true story in our next production of Come From Away. Sharing the lesser known story of the community of Gander, Newfoundland during the week following the September 11 attacks, when 38 planes, carrying approximately 7,000 passengers, were ordered to land unexpectedly at Gander International Airport. The characters in the musical are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travellers they housed and fed.

We are launching this amazing show ‘Come From Away‘ on Monday July 6th. The onstage performance dates are January 26-30th 2027 and we will cast before our summer break and start rehearsals in earnest in September. We are looking for adult performers of any gender and ethnicity to join our production in both principal and ensemble roles.
