Based on the true story of when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. When 38 planes carrying thousands of people were diverted to Gander's airstrip on September 11, 2001, the people of Gander welcomed the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we're all part of a global family. A celebration of the strength, resolve, and inherent kindness of humanity.

Auditions take place in the Main Stage Building. Parking is VERY limited, so arrive early to find parking in the village.

No walk-ins. Register for an audition time via the SignUpGenius link below. One slot per person, and everyone must provide an individual email address. If you sign up and later decide not to audition, please delete your sign up by 10pm on Saturday, November 14 if possible. No video auditions will be accepted.

Each actor has 10 minutes (five to sing, five to read), called individually from the lobby in sign up order. Auditions may run faster than scheduled, so arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before your time. If you aren't present when called, they'll move on and return to you when possible.
