Winner of Best New Musical across the globe, Come From Away shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.

Scenes from RENT - A Staged Performance
Jonathan Larson’s acclaimed rock opera is a celebration of community in the face of adversity in this bilingual workshop performance as part of our New Work Festival 2024.
Scenes from RENT – A Staged Performance brings together a selection of key scenes and hit songs from the show, including ‘Seasons of Love’ and ‘La Vie Boheme’, to explore the musical through the lens of the isolation and prejudice faced by deaf and hearing communities during the 1980s AIDS crisis.
Performed in British Sign Language and English, Lilac Yosiphon (Oh What A Lovely War) directs an ensemble cast of deaf and hearing actors in this exciting reimagining of one of musical theatre’s most beloved titles.
