Tony Award-winning “Dear Evan Hansen” at Stranahan Theater

        The American Theatre Guild will present the North American Tour of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, “Dear Evan Hansen” for eight performances June 13-18 at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo.
        Tickets are available at BroadwayInToledo.com, StranahanTheater.com, by calling 419-381-8851, or in person at the Stranahan Theater box office, 4645 Heatherdowns Boulevard. Group ticket savings for 10+ are available by contacting Groups@ATGuild.org.
        “Dear Evan Hansen” is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it. It tells the story of a letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.
