Hospitality, Humanity & “Come From Away” in Belfast
This week on Check-In with Bryan, we traveled to Northern Ireland to support St. Agnes’s Choral Society in their powerful production of Come From Away at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre.
As the world reflects on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, this episode highlights how kindness, hospitality, and community can shine in times of crisis. Host Bryan Fish sits down with cast members Fiona Keegan and Michelle Hannaway, along with St. Agnes’s leadership, Cat McAleavey and Gareth McGreevy to explore:
- Why Come From Away resonates so deeply with Irish audiences
- The real-life stories behind the characters portrayed on stage
- How the people of Gander, Newfoundland embodied hospitality in its purest form
- The emotional connection between 9/11 and Northern Ireland’s own history of resilience
- What audiences and performers alike take away from this production about empathy, kindness, and humanity
This sold-out run at the Lyric Theatre has not only brought global stories to a local stage, but also reminded us that hospitality isn’t just hotels and travel — it’s about welcoming strangers, creating belonging, and offering comfort when it’s needed most.
If you’re passionate about hospitality, leadership, and the human side of our industry, this episode will move and inspire you.
