The national tour of the Broadway musical “Come From Away” has landed in Orlando. It’s the story of the people aboard 38 planes who were forced to land in a tiny Canadian town on 9/11 and what happened to them... and the locals who welcomed them. Come From Away plays Saturday at 2 and Sunday at 1 at Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

Emerging and established contemporary dance choreographers will present their works at a new event in Orlando called the Contemporary Dance Choreography Festival. The one night only performance is Sunday 8 to 10 at Orlando Repertory Theatre. Tickets include a free wine reception.
