⁣VA Rep’s COME FROM AWAY!⁣ ⁣ In the days following 9/11, 38 planes carrying thousands of passengers were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. What unfolded was an extraordinary display of community, as the residents of Gander opened their homes & hearts to these stranded strangers.

Hammerly knows this story well. He spent a decade performing it at Ford’s Theatre in D.C. and once promised himself he’d never revisit the material. Of course, human beings are famous for breaking promises, especially to themselves. “I’m living Christmas Carol,” he said. “I wake up singing carols.”
