Keep an eye out for magazines, Neighbors of Canton and Plymouth Township Neighbors, in your mailbox! Within you will find an article featuring our next musical, Come From Away! We shared the story of Come From Away with Officer Cale Bell, Canton Police Department's Community Liaison., who found some similarities between the story and Canton community.

TICKETS ARE LIVE!

The musical Come From Away shares the true story of 7,000 airline passengers grounded in Gander, Canada after the attacks during 9/11. Local residents provided them with food, shelter, comfort, and more. It's an inspiring story of hope, community, and peace. Join us as we honor our first responders at every show and dedicate show fundraising to charitable organizations.

September 11-13 & 18-20, 2026
Friday & Saturday 7:30 P.M., Sunday 3 P.M.
