Dear Evan Hansen December 15, 2024, at 8:00 pm Dear Evan Hansen tells the story of a young man with a social anxiety disorder who so yearns to make a connection with his peers that he fabricates a relationship with a deceased student to become closer to the boy's family. When a classmate commits suicide, shy Evan Hansen finds himself at the center of the tragedy and turmoil. In a misguided attempt to comfort the boy's grieving family, Evan pretends he is good friends with their son. He invents a fabricated email account to prove their friendship. When a fake suicide note makes its way online, Evan finds himself the unintended face of a viral video about loneliness and friendship. DEAR EVAN HANSEN is recommended for ages 12 and up and contains adult themes, including discussions of suicide.
