Come From Away
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
September 5-20, 2026

In a small town in Newfoundland, an ordinary morning becomes extraordinary when the world suddenly changes. On September 11th, 2001, thirty-eight planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers are diverted to the tiny town of Gander. As cultures collide and uncertainty fills the air, strangers open their homes, their kitchens, and their hearts.

This acclaimed Broadway hit tells the remarkable true story of kindness in the face of crisis. With a soaring score and an ensemble cast playing dozens of characters, Come From Away celebrates the generosity that can appear when we need it most. And reminds us how deeply connected we really are.

Virginia Stage Company 108 E Tazewell St, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: TBD

By Lloyd Suh
October 7-18, 2026- (2 weeks only)

Thanksgiving, 1973. In a small apartment somewhere in America, two recent immigrants meet for the first time. Luna from the Philippines and Jane from South Korea have never experienced an American Thanksgiving before, and tonight neither of them wants to spend it alone.

What begins as an awkward visit becomes an evening of laughter, shared memories, and unexpected friendship. As they swap stories about home, marriage, and what it means to start over in a new country, this warm and funny play captures the quiet courage of building a life far from where you began.

The Murder of Rodger Ackroyd
Adapted for the stage by Mark Shanahan
January 20 – February 7, 2027

When a wealthy man is found dead in his country estate, every guest, neighbor, and family member becomes a suspect.

Enter the brilliant, and slightly eccentric, detective Hercule Poirot, who begins unraveling a web of secrets, lies, and motives hiding just beneath the surface.

It’s a classic whodunit filled with twists, surprises, and the kind of theatrical suspense that keeps audiences leaning forward in their seats. Agathie Christie, and murder, remain timeless.

A Partnership with The Governor’s School for the Arts
(2 weeks only)

At a small-town high school, a group of students begins studying The Crucible. What starts as a classroom discussion soon sparks something bigger. As the girls in the class question the stories they’ve been taught and the heroes they were told to believe in… they start to see their own lives in a new light.

Sharp, funny, and fiercely contemporary, this breakout hit explores friendship, power, and the complicated process of finding your voice. Sometimes the stories we inherit aren’t the whole truth. The real lesson begins when we start asking questions.
