Dear Evan Hansen Is Here — and BSC Brought a Real Designer
The Nevada premiere of Dear Evan Hansen opened Thursday night at Summerlin Library & PAC, and Broadway Stage Collective arrived with something you don't always see at community theatre level: a professional projection designer who made a choice. Jeff Bielatowicz's visual design doesn't try to replicate the original Broadway's screen-as-social-media grammar. It renders interiority — how an anxious mind fragments.

Full calendarWe've got the scoop on every stage in Las Vegas, from the Smith Center to community theatre - no fluff, no tourist traps. Just the real deal on what's happening in our theatre scene. The Nevada premiere of Dear Evan Hansen just opened at Summerlin Library & PAC, courtesy of Broadway Stage Collective, and they're bringing a level of professionalism you don't often see at this level. Their projection designer, Jeff Bielatowicz, made some bold choices that pay off - instead of copying the original Broadway production's social media-inspired visuals, he opted to explore the inner workings of an anxious mind. It's a fresh take and it totally works in this intimate setting.
The third touring production of Dear Evan Hansen hits Reynolds Hall with some notable improvements - the second act is tighter, and the cast has clearly done their homework to find the show's emotional core without simply mimicking the cast recording. Meanwhile, UNLV's resident company kicks off their spring season with a production that shoots for the stars, even if not every element quite hits the mark. You've got to respect their ambition, though - this is some serious, thoughtful work.
