It's opening night! June 10, 2026 has been on my calendar for the better part of a year and we made it! This is a quick episode featuring an update (since it's been a minute since my last episode!) and the story of Dear Evan Hansen in under 5 minutes. It's only been hinted at in previous episodes and I figured it was time to give you the Coles Notes. I believe watching a musical when you know the story makes the experience more relaxing. Then you can sit back and take in the experience, not worrying about missing story parts along the way. So enjoy this quick episode and I hope to see you at the show in the coming weeks!

We are three weeks from opening night! I'll provide a brief update of the rehearsal process and quickly get into my interview with Ethan Landygo.

Ethan is our Evan! Born and raised Okanagan Valley boy, playing the role of his life. I loved learning his background, what he brings to the role and how he prepares for interactions with other cast members. He is working his butt off! His falsetto singing is STUNNING and I'm so lucky I get to share a stage with him.

Rehearsals for Dear Evan Hansen at the Kelowna Actors Studio are officially underway! I'll give you a bit of an update, then dive into our first interview.

Skylar Naiman plays Zoe Murphy in the show, daughter to Cynthia (my character) and brother to the infamous Connor Murphy. Zoe represents Sky's first time playing a softer, more moody character, and she can't wait to dive in! After taking some time away from the stage as she navigated some challenges of her own during her later high school years, Sky is back and wearing her lived experience as a badge of honour.

Let's get to know Sky as she prepares to bring Zoe Murphy to stage in Kelowna's exclusive presentation of Dear Evan Hansen, June 10-28, 2026.
