We are honored to partner with Theatre Charlotte for this meaningful production of Come From Away, which reflects on the events and lasting impact of September 11, 2001. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together with the theatre to keep the stories, memories, and reflection of September 11 alive for future generations. The show will open the evening of Friday, September 11th and runs through October 4th.

We're honored to partner with the FF Steven Coakley Foundation and its annual Flags of Remembrance installation at Romare Bearden Park, which honors Firefighter Steven Coakley of FDNY Engine 217 and the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

As Come From Away opens on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the story of the kindness, generosity, and humanity that emerged in the aftermath of that day carries special meaning. Our cast will have the unique opportunity to participate in placing flags, and Foundation members will join us at our opening night performance.

We invite you to visit the Flags of Remembrance installation throughout the weekend of September 11 to pause, remember, and honor those we lost.
