Cambridge: Drayton Entertainment kicks off its 2026 season with “Dear Evan Hansen” on March 18

Monday, January 26, 2026

Our 2026 Season kicks off in March at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse with DEAR EVAN HANSEN.

The Washington Post heralds it as “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history” and The New York Times calls it “a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical.” Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it in the digital age. It has struck a remarkable chord with audiences of all ages and critics everywhere.

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.
