Theatrical Bears: Come From Away

Join the Harbour City Bears for a heartwarming evening at Strathfield Musical Society’s production of Come From Away — a true story of compassion, resilience, and unlikely community forged in the wake of global crisis. Set in the small Newfoundland town of Gander, this award-winning musical follows the remarkable welcome extended to thousands of stranded travelers after 9/11 — and the unforgettable friendships that bloomed in the process.

Expect a night rich with folk-inspired melodies, emotional resonance, and wry humor — all wrapped in a tale that reminds us of the enduring power of kindness, even when the world feels upside down. There’s warmth in every note, and maybe even a tear or two (in the best way).

While you’re there, keep an eye out for Clinton — one of our committee members — who’s taking the stage as part of the cast. It’s a small-town story with bighearted energy, and we can’t wait to experience it together.

When — Saturday 31 October 2026, 8pm (AEDT)
Where — Latvian Theatre, 32 Parnell St, Strathfield
Cost — $50 for members, $55 for non-members

This is a seated theatrical event — no dancing, no DJ sets, just compelling storytelling and soul-stirring harmonies. A perfect outing for those who appreciate moving musicals and shared moments of connection.
