Director: Justin Edenhofer
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
On September 11, 2001, thirty-eight commercial airliners were suddenly forced to land in Gander, Newfoundland — a remote island community that instantly found its population doubled by stranded, anxious travelers from around the world. What followed was an extraordinary, true testament to human resilience and radical hospitality. Come From Awaymasterfully weaves the overlapping stories of these "come from aways" and the locals who opened their homes, hearts, and pantries without hesitation. Driven by a rhythmic, foot-stomping Celtic-infused score, this deeply moving musical reminds us that even in our darkest hours, our capacity for kindness, empathy, and unexpected connection remains unshakeable.

Finding Neverland February — 26-28 & March 5-7, 2027
Director: Jared Sparks-Lee
Music by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy
Book by James Graham
Before Peter Pan flew into the hearts of generations, there was J.M. Barrie — a struggling Scottish playwright searching for a spark of inspiration in Edwardian London. Finding Neverland explores the mesmerizing true story of how Barrie found his muse in the four young Llewelyn Davies brothers and their beautiful, free-spirited mother. By transforming their everyday backyard games into grand adventures, Barrie unlocked a timeless world of pirates, fairies, and boys who never grow up. With a soaring, contemporary score, this visually arresting and emotionally rich musical captures the bittersweet magic of childhood, the agony of grief, and the profound power of imagination to heal and immortalize the people we love.
The Play That Goes Wrong — May 7-9 & 14-16, 2027
Director: Kevin Kern
By Jonathan Sayer, Henry Lewis, and Henry Shields
The Cornley University Drama Society’s members are attempting to put on a classic, 1920s murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor, but to say the production faces a few technical difficulties would be a massive understatement. In this Olivier Award-winning comedy masterpiece, everything that can collapse, catch fire, be forgotten, or be completely mispronounced does so with spectacular, high-octane precision. As the actors desperately struggle to keep the show on the tracks despite falling sets, missing props, and an unconscious leading lady, the result is an escalating avalanche of physical comedy and impeccable timing. A brilliant love letter to the theater, The Play That Goes Wrong is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud celebration of the sheer, stubborn will to ensure that the show must go on.

Based on the classic 1912 novel by Jean Webster, Daddy Long Legs is an intimate, sweeping chamber musical that unfolds through a decades-long exchange of letters. Jerusha Abbott is a witty, fiercely intelligent orphan whose sharp mind catches the attention of a mysterious, wealthy benefactor. He offers to fund her college education under two strict conditions: she must never know his true identity, and she must write him a letter once a month updating him on her progress. Jerusha nicknames her elusive guardian “Daddy Long Legs,” unaware that he is actually Jervis Pendleton, a sophisticated young man who is gradually falling in love with her through her own words. Featuring an exquisite, acoustic-driven score, this beautifully romantic piece explores the awakening of an independent woman’s voice and the unexpected paths that lead us to love.
