Musical "Come From Away" at Capital One Hall







 

I signed up to usher this 911-related musical Come From Away at Capital One Hall months ago. I surely never thought that the whole world is now waiting for the investigation results of the recent DC air-collision, another mind-bothering tragedy.
The musical was based on the true story of a small town's generosity and acceptance of strangers during a crisis. There were many touching moments during the play that wet my eyes. It was amazing how such a remote town of Gander, Newfoundland opened its arms to embrace nearly 7000 passengers of 38 airplanes on September 11, 2001, when the American airspace was closed as a result of terrorist attacks in New York, Washington D.C. & Pennsylvania. You need to see it yourself.
This was the first time I worked at ticket gates at Capital One Hall, more complicated than other venues, but I did ok.
