🎭 Performance Dates: July 31 - August 2

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Evan Hansen has always felt invisible. When a tragedy shakes his community and places him at the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, he is given the chance to belong — but at what cost? As the truth unravels, Evan must confront the consequences of his choices and discover what it truly means to be seen.

Auditions are open to students ages 13-18. NorCal Arts is committed to inclusive, bold storytelling and encourages performers from all backgrounds to audition.

Somewhere, someone needs to hear your voice. You Will Be Found.
