This chapter considers the Broadway musical Come From Away in relation to the ecological phenomenon of disturbance. We explore the concept of disturbance through the writing of Nancy B. Grimm and Debra P.C. Peters, and we note as a particular example of a disturbance event the terrorist attack of 9/11. One of the immediate consequences of 9/11 was that US airspace was shut, and planes were rerouted to provincial airports including that of Gander in Newfoundland. Come From Away tells the story of how 6,500 passengers and crew were taken in by local residents in an act of friendship and human kindness. As we discuss the community dynamics of both the historical event and the show, we turn to the concepts of ecological memory and ecosystem resilience to understand how this musical unexpectedly delivers a message of hope.
