Potomac Playmakers

The Potomac Playmakers - America's Oldest Community Theater Groups.

Come From Away – Sept 11-13 & 18-20, 2026

Book Music & Lyrics by IRENE SANKOFF and DAVID HEIN

Tickets are $20 / $15 (Seniors 65+) plus service fee

COME FROM AWAY tells the compelling story of the town of Gander, Newfoundland, and how for five days in 2001 the small town played host to over 7,000 displaced airline passengers in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  The characters are based on actual Gander residents and the stranded travelers they housed and fed. What develops over that time is the fostering of unexpected friendships, compassion, and resilience amidst global fear.

The production is licensed by Music Theatre International.

Directed by Cathy James

Musical Director Janet Palmer

'Buy a Seat' Plaque Campaign

With the Potomac Playmakers "Buy a Seat"  campaign, you can name a perpetual seat in the Lee Stine Auditorium for only $125. A commemorative 1.5" x 3" brass plate will be placed on the back of one of the seats in the theatre. We cannot ensure the specific placement of each plaque location, but early donors will be placed in the frontmost rows. You are not purchasing the seat for your use during the season, and naming rights do not guarantee that you can sit in that seat when you come to a Playmakers' production. In addition to the permanent plaque you receive a 1-year membership in the Potomac Playmakers, which enables you to vote at the Annual Meeting in our election to the Board.

Take me There!
