Forestburgh Playhouse Reveals Broadway Sensation Come From Away as "Mystery Show" for Landmark 80th Anniversary Season
Forestburgh, NY — The Forestburgh Playhouse has officially unveiled its highly anticipated "Mystery Show" for the 2026 Season and landmark 80th Anniversary Celebration: the international Broadway hit, Come From Away.
The critically acclaimed musical will run August 25 – September 6, 2026, serving as a major highlight of the Playhouse’s historic anniversary season.
Come From Away tells the inspiring true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers and the extraordinary small town of Gander, Newfoundland, that welcomed them after the events of September 11, 2001. When 38 planes were unexpectedly diverted, an incredible display of kindness, resilience, and human connection unfolded. With its soaring and unforgettable score, the production has captivated audiences worldwide with its uplifting message.
“Revealing Come From Away as our Mystery Show feels especially meaningful during our 80th Anniversary Season,” said Producer, Franklin Trapp. “This musical celebrates compassion, community, and the very best of humanity — values that have defined the Forestburgh Playhouse for eight decades.”
Since its Broadway debut, Come From Away has earned widespread acclaim, including multiple Tony Award nominations, and has become a global theatrical phenomenon.
The production is expected to be one of the most in-demand titles of the 2026 summer season. The 2026 Season marks 80 years of "Broadway in the Catskills" for the Forestburgh Playhouse, continuing its legacy as New York State’s oldest continuously operating summer theatre.
