Connor Farry: The Story Behind COME FROM AWAY
Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 2PM
At just four years old, Connor Farry was aboard one of the flights diverted to the small
town of Gander, Newfoundland, following the events of September 11, 2001. He and more than 7,000
stranded passengers found refuge in this remarkable community—an experience that went on to inspire
the Tony Award–winning musical COME FROM AWAY, now playing at Farmers Alley Theatre through
October 26 th .
Today, Connor continues to share his narrative of resilience, kindness, and hope through his work with the Pay It Forward 9/11 Foundation, carrying forward a legacy of compassion. He will be sharing his story on October 18 at 2pm at the AIR ZOO FLIGHT INNOVATION CENTER located at 6151 Portage Road, Portage MI 49002. This is a free event, first come, first served, and space is limited to the first 100 attendees.
