The Stratford Festival is transforming, for this summer, into an outdoor festival offering a season of six plays and five cabarets reflecting on the theme of Metamorphosis, with performances held under beautiful canopies that will hark back to the Festival’s founding under a tent in 1953.

Un 4 de diciembre de 2016 el Music Box Theatre acogía por primera vez la historia del joven Evan Hansen.

TROUT STANLEY brims with confusion and delight, like a birthday cake when it's nobody's birthday. Set somewhere in rural BC, it follows a pair of lugubrious but charming sisters, Grace and Sugar, as they cross paths with a mysterious man, Mr Trout Stanely, who's wandered in off the street. Neither they nor we really know what anyone's intentions are, only that, if patterns repeat themselves, somebody is going to die.

Fourteen years after its Toronto premiere, FACTORY is proud to present the triumphant return of TROUT STANLEY . Written by Claudia Dey and directed by Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu, TROUT STANLEY will return to the Factory Mainspace from October 19 a?" November 10, 2019.

It's time to step into the sun because Dear Evan Hansen's first international Evan, Robert Markus, is performing the show's classic song 'Waving Through the Window' in a special acoustic rendition. Check out the full video!
