Our 2026 Kula Kiʻekiʻe Fall Musical is Come From Away, the remarkable true story of a small town that welcomed the world.
Be a part of this little-known historical moment and be inspired by a community that gave everything at our Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ma Hawai'i campus.
From Musical Theatre International: Come From Away is a critically acclaimed musical featuring a culturally relevant script accompanied by a deeply moving score by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together, no matter what the circumstances.
Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
