Theatrical Bears: Come From Away

Join the Harbour City Bears for a heartwarming outing to Come From Away, presented by Strathfield Musical Society. This isn’t just another musical — it’s the kind of story that reminds you why live performance exists.

Based on the remarkable true story following the events of 11 September 2001, this award-winning musical celebrates the extraordinary kindness, resilience, and community spirit of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, as it welcomed thousands of stranded travellers from around the world. It’s a tale of humanity, hospitality, and connection — exactly the kind of energy we need more of these days.

Filled with uplifting music, gentle humour, and unforgettable moments, Come From Away is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, humanity shines brightest. The show balances emotional weight with lightness — think toe-tapping tunes, spontaneous singalongs, and that rare theatrical magic where you leave with a full heart.

While you’re enjoying the performance, keep an eye out for Clinton — one of our committee members who is performing in the production. It’s always a treat to see community members take the stage.

Grab your friends, your partner, or your solo seat — this outing’s open to all who appreciate storytelling with soul. The atmosphere is welcoming, warm, and wonderfully Australian — no prerequisites, just good vibes and great theatre.
