Welcome To The Rock is the opening of the Broadway play Come From Away. We mention them because when September started, we began posting a list of ways to remember September 11.

The full list of suggestions is below. However, we want to make sure we all never forget our neighbors in Canada who responded through difficult circumstances.

One of our board members noted, Come From Away is the “perfect narrative of the hospitality, generosity, and inclusiveness we can all show when we choose to do so. It brings tears to my eyes that it takes a tragedy to come together.”

Come from Away is a the musical tale written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.

It is set in the week of the Tuesday 9-11 attacks and tells the true story of what transpired when thirty-eight planes were re-routed to the small Newfoundland town of Gander.

The characters in the musical are based on (and in most cases share the names of) real Gander residents as well as some of the 7,000 stranded travelers they housed and fed.

This powerful musical returns to Broadway on September 21st. It is also touring nationally. We hope you will also remember 9-11 by buying a ticket to both keep September 11 alive in our memories and support the arts as they return to the theater.

The production runs in a single act over approximately one hundred minutes without intermission.

Welcome To The Rock And More Ways To Remember 9-11

The 9-11 Foundation supports everyone remembering September 11. We hope this list is of assistance to teachers, community groups, and others who seek a formal process to remember that day’s events.
