Dear Evan Hansen (John Legend Theater)

Dear Evan Hansen explores difficult but important topics such as loneliness, grief, belonging, and the desire to be seen and heard. Through this partnership, we hope the conversations sparked onstage continue offstage and remind our community that connection matters. 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. This production is about more than bringing a powerful musical to the stage. It represents a partnership between Hope Squad at Springfield High School, Bringing Awareness To Students (B.A.T.S.), and The John Legend Theater to use the arts as a way to bring our community together and help increase awareness around suicide prevention, mental health, connection, and the importance of reaching out when someone is struggling.
