Award-winning local theatre company Concept Players return to the stage this March with their next major production, the internationally acclaimed musical Come From Away, running from 4–7 March at the Paget Rooms, Penarth.
Renowned for their high production values, strong ensemble work and commitment to telling stories that resonate, Concept Players have built an enviable reputation over the years for delivering professional-standard musical theatre with heart. Their latest choice of show is no exception.
Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers and the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, who welcomed them in the aftermath of 9/11. What could have been a story defined by tragedy instead becomes one of kindness, generosity and human connection. Bursting with energy, humour and a soaring Celtic-inspired score, the show celebrates the very best of humanity.
Director Paul Buckle says:
“This show is a gift. It’s funny, moving and incredibly uplifting, and it reminds us how powerful simple acts of kindness can be. For Concept Players, it’s the perfect story to tell – one that relies on ensemble storytelling, community spirit and heart, which are all things this company does brilliantly.”
Audiences can expect a fast-paced, ensemble-driven production, brought vividly to life by Concept Players’ talented cast and creative team. The company’s pedigree shines through in its attention to detail, polished performances and ability to balance emotional depth with moments of genuine joy and laughter.
At its core, Come From Away is an uplifting experience – a reminder that compassion transcends borders and that even in the darkest moments, hope and connection can take centre stage. It’s a story that feels especially timely and one that leaves audiences smiling, moved and inspired.
Concept Players are proud to bring this powerful musical to Penarth, continuing their tradition of ambitious and heartfelt productions that entertain, challenge and unite audiences.
Come From Away runs from 4–7 March at the Paget Rooms, Penarth. Tickets are expected to be in high demand, so early booking is strongly recommended.
