Welcome to the Schuster Center and Premier Health Broadway in Dayton!Dayton Live is proud to welcome the national tour of DEAR EVAN HANSEN to the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center as part of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. This amazing production will touch you profoundly and I know you’ll leave with the incredible music running through your head for the next week or more!
Our gratitude to Premier Health as the sponsor of Broadway in Dayton is ongoing and deep. Their continued commitment to Dayton Live and to the community is crucial to our success and the wellbeing of our region.
It’s fabulous to have Lexus of Dayton as the Official Luxury Vehicle of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. Please thank them for their support and commitment to Dayton Live and the arts in Dayton. Our appreciation also goes to WHIO TV7 and WHIO AM/FM radio, the official media sponsors of this season’s Premier Health Broadway in Dayton.
It’s hard to believe it’s already the third month of 2022 – but we still have four more tremendous examples of how exciting and entertaining touring Broadway can be yet to come this spring and summer: COME FROM AWAY, MEAN GIRLS, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. In addition, there are dozens of performances and events from Dayton Live as well as from our resident companies, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, The Human Race Theatre Company, and Dayton Contemporary Dance Company filling the calendars at each of our Dayton Live venues. Get all the details at DaytonLive.org. Check out the spring classes and intensives being offered by Dayton Live’s Education & Engagement team as well.
Some of you are already asking about what’s in store for 2022-2023. We’re in the process of putting the finishing touches on a great lineup of shows for next season and will be making announcements in the next several weeks. Watch your email box and follow us on social media @DaytonLive365 to be sure to be among the first to hear!
Thank you for allowing us to share DEAR EVAN HANSEN with you - and for supporting the arts in Dayton!
