With the 2026 Season starting in just over a month at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse, let's meet the cast of Dear Evan Hansen!

Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it in the digital age.

All his life, anxious and lonely teenager Evan Hansen has felt invisible. But when a tragic event shocks the community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to finally be somebody else.

For anyone who has ever felt on the outside looking in, Dear Evan Hansen is a poignant and powerful story about how we can find each other – and ourselves – along the way.
