Come From Away is one of those musicals that celebrates a bright spot in one of the darkest days in American history. It tells the true story of the little town of Gander in Newfoundland, which took in about 7000 passengers grounded during the September 11th attacks. While exploring such a heavy topic, the story and cast of Come From Away also wish to discuss the hope and levity that can be found when everything feels lost.

In this exclusive interview, cast member Kristen Litzenberg discusses what drew her to this musical and what her time on tour has been like. She explores how a changeover within the cast can impact the show, such as keeping her in the moment instead of going into autopilot, the inspiration she gains from telling a true story such as this, and what challenges a one-act musical presents. Is there pressure to bring this story based on real people to life on stage each night? Listen to the interview for the answers to all these questions and more!
