🖤ABOUT THE SHOW
Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.

🤍CONTENT ADVISORY
Dear Evan Hansen is rated PG-13. This production contains adult language and themes of anxiety, depression, grief, su***de, and emotional distress. Viewer discretion is advised.

Dear Evan Hansen is produced in arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Many thanks to our incredible army of volunteers who attended set construction for The Sound of Music this morning! Many hands made for light and fun work and truly exemplified the community spirit of what civic theatre is all about. From Von Trapp children armed with paint brushes to our Captain and Franz working together to hang stained glass windows, the Opera House was buzzing with creative energy! The Sound of Music opens in just under three weeks! Do you have YOUR tickets yet?
