About the Show:Broadway’s Come From Away is a Best Musical winner all across North America!

This New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

Don’t miss this breathtaking musical written by Tony® nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, directed by Tony Award®-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley and musical staging by Tony-nominee Kelly Devine. The tour is directed by Daniel Goldstein with musical staging by Richard J. Hinds, based on the original Broadway direction and choreography.

Soldiers of the American Revolution
2025-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | Arlington Public Library, 321 W Main St, Arlington, Minnesota, 55307
The American Revolution was America’s first civil war. It would split the country between Loyalists, those who wanted to stay loyal to the king, and Patriots, those who wanted to separate from Great Britain to become an independent and sovereign nation. How could we, as a people, go from being proud that we were British subjects and part of the greatest empire in the world, to wanting our independence from the mother country, in the span of just 10 years? Through drama, role-playing, and living history experiences, participants will gain an understanding of :

The Causes of the Revolution

Important people of the Revolution

Important battles of the Revolution

The tactics and strategies of the war.

The cost of the war, in terms of property and loss of life

The British viewpoint and attitudes toward the war

The typical soldier’s daily life, uniform, equipment and weapons

The results of the war; a new and better government and much, much more.

Tour groups are limited to 20 people at a time, thus the importance of booking your reservation in advance.
