COME FROM AWAY | VIDEO SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN
Bangalow Theatre Company is thrilled to announce auditions for Come from Away, the heartwarming and uplifting musical based on the true story of what happened when 38 planes were unexpectedly diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. In the days that followed, a small town welcomed thousands of stranded passengers with open arms, proving that kindness and humanity shine even in the darkest times.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
This is an ensemble-driven show where every performer plays multiple roles—so we’re looking for confident actors who can sing, transform, and bring real, authentic characters to life.
6 male-identifying & 6 female-identifying actors (ages 20-70 years)
Ability to speak with a Newfoundland accent and Canadian/American accent.
All ages, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds—we want a cast that reflects the real world!
Strong character actors who can switch between roles with ease.
Singing ability is a must—this is a folk-rock musical with an Irish pulse and soaring harmonies.
No formal dance required, but movement skills a plus!
If you love storytelling, if you want to be part of something special, if you’re looking for a show with heart and soul—this is your moment.
