🎭 Since 1946, the Midland Community Theatre has been giving our community a variety of amazing live performances that stay with us long after the curtain closes. 🌟

✨ Starting this week, they have two new shows that you won’t want to miss!

Come From Away

✈️ 🌍 Come From Away is based on the true story of how 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 cultural 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. 🤝🤗

THE GUYS

✍️🗽Based on a true story, this touching tale will tug at your heartstrings. THE GUYS tells the moving story of Nick, a fire captain who lost his men in the September 11th attacks, and Joan, a writer who helps him craft eulogies for the fallen. As they share memories and write together, they find comfort, friendship, and hope while honoring the resilience and humanity of New York City. 🚒❤️
