Skiing Squirrel Productions presents Dear Evan Hansen, Jul. 23-25 & Jul. 30-Aug. 1 at 7:30 pm, with a 2:30pm performance Jul. 26 & Aug. 2!

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.

Tickets for all performances are $15 per person. There will be a 50/50 raffle and concessions at the performance!

Content Warning: Dear Evan Hansen contains adult themes/language, and is not suitable for young children. We recommend this show to be 13+.
