Theatre Calgary is staging the musical “Come From Away” as the final production of its 2025‑2026 season [1].

The production highlights themes of compassion and global unity by recounting the events following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. By focusing on the residents of a small town who aided stranded travelers, the show aims to provide a narrative of human kindness during a period of international crisis.

The musical opened on May 26, 2026 [2], and is scheduled to run through June 28, 2026 [3]. This production serves as the closing act for the 2025‑2026 theatrical calendar [4].

Cast member Mark Bellamy said the production is "a love letter to Canada" [5]. The show's focus on shared humanity has been a central point of critical reception during its run in Alberta.

One reviewer for BroadwayWorld said, "In a time of international feuding and the rise of an 'us versus them' mentality, it's refreshing to be reminded that we are all human, and that commonality is the strongest bond" [6].

The production is hosted at Theatre Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, where it continues to perform its final set of dates before the season officially concludes [7].

“a love letter to Canada.”

The selection of 'Come From Away' as a season finale reflects a programming trend toward stories of resilience and communal support. By anchoring the end of its 2025-2026 season in a narrative about international cooperation, Theatre Calgary is positioning the arts as a tool for social cohesion in an increasingly polarized global climate.
