Amarillo Little Theatre presents Come From Away at the ALT Allen Shankles Mainstage, Sept. 3–20.

Based on the true story of the days following September 11, Come From Away follows the people of Gander, Newfoundland, who welcomed thousands of stranded travelers when 38 planes were diverted to their small town. What began as an ordinary day became an international story of hospitality, music, resilience and unexpected connection.

With book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away is an ensemble musical about strangers becoming neighbors and ordinary people showing up for one another in an extraordinary moment.

Performances are Sept. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m., and Sept. 13 and 20 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets and information are available through Amarillo Little Theatre at purchase.amarillolittletheatre.org or by calling the box office at 806-355-9991.

● WHAT: Amarillo residents of all ages are encouraged to lace up their walking shoes and join Bob Gerald, MD for Amarillo’s first anniversary Walk with a Doc (WWAD) Texas event.

● WHEN: Saturday, Feb. 21, at 9:30 am (recurring monthly every third Saturday)

● WHERE: Potter-Randall County Medical Society -- 1721 Hagy Blvd, Amarillo (meet at the medical society and then we’ll walk to Medi Park)

● WHO: Dr. Gerald, medical society staff members, and any community members interested in participating

● WHY: Walking is one of the simplest, best things people can do to live a long, high-quality life. WWAD makes it easy by providing the time, place, motivation (a brief health information talk), and fellow participants for a fun walking experience.

TheWalk with a Doc concept is simple: Physicians organize walks in their communities and invite their patients, their patients’ families, and community members to join them. Walkers will enjoy a refreshing and invigorating walk with Dr. Gerald and other health care professionals, who will provide support to participants and answer questions during the walk.Walk with a Doc Texas is overseen by a national nonprofit organization to get people active and healthy, and is backed by the Texas Medical Association (TMA) in Texas.

This is a FREE program, and preregistration is not required. Information about future walks will be announced on this chapter’s Walk with a Doc website.

Have fun creating with LEGOs!
