全剧100分钟，仅由十二位演员构建起整个世界，他们不断切换于 Gander 居民与乘客、陌生人与朋友、喜剧与悲剧之间。对星校师生而言，排演这部作品也是一次极具野心的挑战：连续三场演出、双重演员阵容并行、前所未有的舞台改造——舞台首次向观众席方向延伸了一米，并搭建了学校第一个门式舞台灯光桁架系统 。这些技术升级为整场演出赋予了全新的视觉体验。   

在导演杨蝉老师的带领下，整个剧组交出了一份令人动容的答卷。曹迦彦 (10-7) 与顾诗韵 (11-4) 分饰 Annette/Beverley，她们在《Me and the Sky》中展现出惊人的感染力，将 Beverley Bass 成为美国航空首位女性机长的奋斗历程娓娓道来。米熠笛 (10-2) 与陈一苇 (12-2) 饰演 Nick，姜知之 (11-2) 与刘承英 (11-2) 饰演 Diane，在《Stop the World》中演绎出一段在危机中萌生的动人爱情故事。周是知 (10-2) 饰演的 Hannah 以及替补演员陆欣妤 (10-1)，在《I Am Here》中带来了震撼人心的情感爆发；朱轶诚 (12-1) 饰演的 Kevin T. 则在《Prayer》中以更加克制而深刻的方式打动观众。

当然，这一切都离不开幕后无数默默付出的人。在此，我们向所有参与者致以最诚挚的感谢：

执行制作团队—— 杨蝉老师、陈一苇、周恺歆 (11-1) 、曹迦彦、胡晔 (12-4) 、米熠笛、与赵彩羽 (11-5)——统筹整个项目，并分别带领各自团队完成工作 。

舞台美术团队由胡晔与周恺歆领衔，徐婧 (11-5)、邵奕宁 (10-2)、 郭怡朵 (10-7)  与曹芷颖 (11-5) 共同参与，负责布景、道具及灯光相关事务。

妆造团队包括周恺歆、胡晔、张一诺 (12-4) 和陈子熠 (10-2) ，负责四月宣传拍摄及正式演出的所有化妆工作。

演出后台支持来自李俊老师；影像多媒体支持由星校电视台提供，其中周子越 (12-2) 、王羿翔 (12-4) 带领高一、高二电视台成员全程参与现场导播与录制；字幕制作则由陈一苇、朱奕然、毛乐诚 (11-4) 、朱宇轩（12-6）、刘承英与李承恩共同完成。

本次制作也有幸获得专业人士的指导。中国音乐剧协会理事、上海音乐学院音乐戏剧系副教授张影伦老师亲自为演员们进行表演指导。他的建议帮助整个剧组在人物塑造与情感表达上达到更高层次的细腻与准确。剧中的重要舞蹈编排则由房子瑜老师完成，她慷慨地投入时间与精力，带领演员们尽情释放舞台能量。   

三场演出，两套演员阵容，九个月的努力。那个位于纽芬兰的小镇 Gander，在五月的几个夜晚重新出现在星校的舞台上。它提醒着所有人：即使面对最艰难的时刻，人们依然可以选择彼此靠近，彼此扶持。而正是这种选择，让平凡变得伟大。

On the evenings of May 27, 28, and 29, the SSBS auditorium was transformed into the small Canadian town of Gander, Newfoundland. For over one hundred minutes each night, time stood still. The school's annual musical production of Come From Away was, by any measure, the most ambitious undertaking in the program's history: three consecutive shows, two parallel casts, unprecedented stage transformations and a production team that had been quietly building toward this moment a year ago.   

Those three May evenings were the product of nearly nine months of preparation. Rehearsals in optional classes had begun the previous September, and by late May, the pace had intensified dramatically. The scale of what the team attempted was not lost on anyone involved. For the first time in the school's history, the stage itself was physically extended forward by one meter; alongside it, the team also constructed the school's first-ever lighting gantry beside the stage. These technical additions gave the production a new visual dimension.

The production was also lucky enough to bring in professional expertise. Director and China Music Drama Association council member Mr. Zhang Yinglun, a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's musical theatre department, gave the cast personal guidance on their acting. This mentorship pushed the ensemble's performances to a level of nuance and intention they might not have otherwise reached. Choreography for key musical numbers was handled by Ms. Junie Fang, who gave her time generously teaching cast members how to dance their heart out.   

And that emotional range is considerable. The opening number, Welcome to the Rock, set the tone with a warmth and momentum that immediately drew audiences in, declaring Gander's character before the planes even landed. From there, songs like Blankets and Bedding, 28 Hours, and Darkness and Trees traced the mounting anxiety and disorientation of passengers held on the tarmac with little information and no end in sight. The middle section of the show — In The Bar / Heave Away, Prayer, Costume Party — mirrored the slow, tentative opening of both the town's doors and the passengers' hearts, as fear was replaced with connection and gratitude. And at the end, Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere and Something's Missing captured the bittersweet ache of a strange, suspended world coming to a close, and the grief of having to leave behind something that, against all odds, had become precious.

Within that arc, the ensemble brought the full weight of the story to life. Kelly Cao (10-7) and Cici Gu (11-4), sharing the role of Annette/Beverley, each delivered Me and the Sky with a force, chronicling Beverley Bass's decades-long fight to become the first female captain at American Airlines. Michael Mi and Alex Chen as Nick, alongside Sisily Jiang (11-2) and Margaret Liu (11-2) as Diane, found an improbable love story born out of crisis, tenderly exemplified in the song Stop the World. Gracie Zhou's (10-2) Hannah, alongside understudy actress Lucia Lu (10-1), tore through I Am Here with devastating clarity, and Chris Zhu's (12-1) Kevin T. offered something quieter but no less affecting in Prayer. Noah Li (11-6) and Rupert Li (10-5) as Kevin J. traced the arc of a man braced for prejudice and met instead with open arms, while Jonathan Hu's (10-5) Claude and James Xing (10-8)'s Oz anchored the Gander side of the story with warmth and steadiness as the mayor. Barbie Mu's (11-6) Bonnie, Lucy Fang (11-8) and Suri Zhu's (12-1) Beulah, and Lisa Li (11-4) and Selina Yi's (10-8) Janice each threaded through the show with their care: feeding animals on board, finding homes for every last passenger, and keeping the town's information flowing. Terry Qiu's (12-2) Bob, with his final act of passing a hat down to raise money for the town's scholarships, showed the show's argument: kindness, even in its smallest form, is worth something.

None of it would have come together without the many people working quietly in the background. Here, we would like to offer our most sincere thanks to everyone involved:

The executive production team — Ms. Channy Yang,  Alex Chen, Cassidy Zhou, Kelly Cao, Emma Hu, Michael Mi, and Sindy Zhao  ( 11-5) — helmed the entire enterprise, with several of them also leading individual teams.

The stage art team, led by Emma Hu and Cassidy Zhou alongside Aurora Xu (11-5),   Selina Shao (10-2),  Avery Guo (10-7),  and Cataleya Cao (11-5), handled all set, background and lighting affairs.

Makeup for both the April shoots and the live shows was taken care of by Cassidy Zhou, Emma Hu, Nelly Zhang (12-4), and Britney Chen (10-2).

The publicity team ( Cassidy Zhou,  Alex Chen,  Michael Mi, Isabella Liu (11-7),  Elan Zhu (11-4),  Leo Qu (11-3) and Ena Yu (10-8) managed the production's public presence, with Sindy Zhao overseeing ticketing and finances.

The live score was performed by the band: Emily Yang (12-1), Ricky Shi (12-2), and Yasutaka Minejima (12-7).

Backstage and filming support came from Mr. Li Jun, Mr. Chen Yu, Mr. Qu Haorui, Ms. Xue Yawen, Kenneth Wang (12-4), Abby Zhou (12-2), Michael Mi, and Alex Chen, with subtitles managed by Alex Chen, Elan Zhu, Mike Mao (11-4), Alex Zhu (11-6), Margaret Liu, and Noah Li.

Outside sound, filming and lighting support was generously provided by the SSBS High School Television Station and Energy Club.

Special thanks go to Abeni Zhang, Bob Zhang, Austin Xiang, Shero Zhu, and Daniel Li for their support throughout.

Three shows. Two casts. Nine months of work. One town in Newfoundland that, for a few nights in May, came alive again on the SSBS school stage and reminded everyone what it looks like when people, against all odds, choose to show up for each other.
