A Contemporary Theatre of Connecticut (A.C.T. of CT) is proud to close its eighth spectacular season with one of the most impactful and emotionally resonant musicals of our time: Dear Evan Hansen. Running from May 14th through June 21st, this landmark production marks a fitting and powerful conclusion to a season defined by ambition, artistry, and connection.
Following the critically acclaimed regional re-envisioning of Almost Famous and the sold-out, family-favorite run of Disney’s Frozen, Dear Evan Hansen offers audiences a deeply human story that speaks directly to the world we are living in today. As A.C.T. of CT continues its mission to bring Broadway-caliber productions to Fairfield County, this final offering underscores the theater’s commitment not
only to excellence but to relevance and emotional truth.
Winner of six Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen has become a cultural touchstone since its Broadway debut. With a soaring, contemporary score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a profoundly moving book by Steven Levenson, the musical explores themes of identity, mental health, belonging, and the universal desire to be seen. At its core, it tells the story of a teenager navigating loneliness and anxiety in an increasingly disconnected world—an experience that resonates across generations.
This is not a show that audiences simply watch; it is a show they feel. Through its intimate storytelling and unforgettable music, Dear Evan Hansen invites reflection, conversation, and empathy. It challenges us to consider how we connect, how we listen, and how even small acts of kindness can have an enormous impact. In a time when these questions feel more urgent than ever,
the musical’s message lands with
extraordinary power.
A.C.T. of CT’s production promises the same level of artistry and care that audiences have come to expect throughout the season. With its powerful performances, emotionally driven storytelling, and unforgettable score, Dear Evan Hansen will be brought to life with clarity, sensitivity, and theatrical precision—allowing the story and its message to resonate fully with every audience member.
Dear Evan Hansen stands as both a culmination and a reflection of what A.C.T. of CT strives to achieve: exceptional storytelling, performed at the highest level, that moves audiences and sparks meaningful dialogue.This is a production not to be missed—an unforgettable theatrical experience that will linger long after the final note is sung! •
