Stages has extended its run of Come From Away at The Gordy in Montrose through Oct. 18, 2026, after strong ticket demand and sold-out performances. The musical recounts how, on Sept. 11, 2001, roughly 7,000 airline passengers were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, temporarily doubling the small town’s population.
The production highlights how residents housed and welcomed travelers from many countries, turning uncertainty into friendships. Shows are scheduled Wednesday–Sunday, with some Sunday evening performances; tickets begin at $25 and vary by date.
This extended run may give Houston audiences a shared space to reflect on hospitality, grief, and cross-cultural connection tied to 9/11. Local theatergoers, performers, and Montrose businesses could benefit from increased foot traffic and ticket sales. The musical’s focus on ordinary kindness may encourage empathy among attendees, though its impact depends on how viewers receive its uplifting framing.
