Studio32 Theatre Company present Come From Away.

Book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein.

7,000 stranded passengers. One small town. A remarkable true story.

Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on Broadway, this smash hit show shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

Experience this joyous story and soaring music as spirited locals and global passengers come together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

Work displayed by our class participants.

The Teen and General Art classes were introduced to the Arts Centre in East Kilbride in 2005 and have been going strong ever since.

Most of these participants attended the kids Arts and Crafts classes from a young age, where they became more interested after experiencing the step-by-step Drawing and Painting course in those classes.  This allowed them to develop an interest and desire to learn more skills and techniques, and a want for a class longer than an hour.

This led to the General Art Drawing & Painting class being introduced to Children from 10 years old to young teens, which again then led to a need for a class for older teens and for the class length to increase from one hour to two hours.

These classes have become a stepping stone for keen young artists developing their art skills, using their own chosen subjects to help in furthering those skills.

Cost: Free admission
