A musical inspired by true events 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 joyful musical honors our common humanity and highlights the importance of reaching out to those in need. * Fee includes coach transportation, lunch at The Local (choice of Pub Burger, Pot Roast, Bangers and Mash, or Macaroni and Cheese served with a salad, beverage, and dessert), and theatre ticket in the McGuire Proscenium Stage * 9:30 AM Depart Northrop Parking Lot * 6 PM Approximate return * No refunds after April 15 * Fee: $115
