Drayton Entertainment presents Dear Evan Hansen at the St. jacobs Country Playhouse March 18-April 12.

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.

“At its heart, Dear Evan Hansen is a story about connection: the longing to be seen, the fear of being invisible, and the complicated ways we reach for belonging in a fast-moving world,” says Artistic Director David Connolly. “It asks timeless questions in a very modern voice about honesty, loneliness, family, and how small choices can ripple outward in unexpected ways. It’s a musical that doesn’t offer easy answers, but instead invites empathy, reflection, conversation and hope.”
