Harter Clingman
Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alumnus Harter Clingman ’11, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BFA Program in Musical Theatre Performance, is featured in the national touring company of the Broadway hit Come From Away, Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s musical based on the true story of what transpired when 38 airplanes were ordered to land unexpectedly in a small Canadian island town in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, stranding 7,000 travelers and triggering an outpouring of support from the residents of the small town.

In an interview with the suburban Daily Herald newspaper, Clingman described his excitement about “bringing a show that is so ensemble-based to a town that celebrates that kind of storytelling. I take such pride being a member of the Chicago community and this story is just something that they’re going to eat up.”
