Covey Theater is thrilled to present CNY audiences with the non-professional regional premiere of the smash Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen. Featuring the hit songs “Waving Through a Window,” “You Will Be Found,” “For Forever,” and more, this engaging musical about finding your place in the world resonates now more than ever. An exemplary cast of local actors, led by a tour-de-force creative team, brings this exciting premiere to life at The Everson Museum’s spacious Hosmer Auditorium July 31-August 9.

What happened when two titans of the musical theater world came together for a single collaboration? 5 years before his breakout hit ‘Company,’ Stephen Sondheim partnered as lyricist with Broadway king Richard Rodgers. They transformed Arthur Laurents' popular play ‘In the Time of the Cuckoo’ into the musical confection ‘Do I Hear a Waltz?’ with limited success. Featuring a sympathetic heroine, the romance of Venice, and a cadre of colorful characters, we ask CNY audiences to judge the work for themselves in this exciting concert performance!

Sick of politics? So are we! Written by Covey artistic director Garrett August Heater, this diabolically funny new comedy skewers the hypocrisy of American politics. Cassidy Brown is an ambitious 25 year old running in a special election for Congress. Coached and cajoled by his dynastic political family, his meteoric rise to the top is matched only by a spectacular flameout for the ages. Featuring an all-star cast of local performers, you’ll never want to hear the word “Benghazi!” again!
