Menomonie Theater Guild is thrilled to announce that the first show of the 2026-27 Season will be Come From Away! Led by a stellar team of Director Carol Diser-Ropella, Music Director RuthAnn Ledgerwood, and Choreographer Alex Hall, this production is sure to be a favorite of actors and audiences alike.

Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
