OUR NEXT EVENT...
Our Next Event: Dear Evan Hansen: In Concert!
Synopsis:
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 that he was actually good friends with their son. He invents a fabricated email account to “prove” their friendship, and when a fake suicide note makes its way online, Evan finds himself the unintended face of a viral video about loneliness and friendship.
As his social currency skyrockets, Evan is drawn deeper and deeper into the lie. His relationship with his actual mother wanes in comparison to that of his “shiny new family.” He finally lands the girl of his dreams, and most importantly--he’s no longer invisible.
Eventually, Evan is forced to make a decision: Will he give himself over to the fantasy he’s created, or will he bite the bullet and risk losing everything he’s ever wanted? With a fast-paced new score from fresh young songwriting duo Pasek and Paul, Dear Evan Hansen has become an instant hit among theatergoers everywhere.
TYPA Theatre Company intends to bring this story to the stage this summer as a “one day only” performance and fundraising event! All proceeds from the event will go straight into allowing TYPA to stay strong in creating a safe space for young adults to be creative and perform. No matter what they are going through.
Auditions: May 23rd (5/23/2020)
Callbacks: May 24th (5/24/2020)
Rehearsals: June 2nd - July 2nd (6/2/2020 - 7/2/2020)
The Final Event (TWO Performances back to back): July 3rd (7/3/2020)
