Description

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Saturday, March 26 at the RPL Nordlof Theater, NAMI Northern Illinois will be hosting a screening of Dear Evan Hansen beginning at 3PM. At the end of the screening, we will hold a panel discussion with local mental health providers to unpack the movie and provide support. Trigger Warning: suicide, mental illness, bullying PG-13 Film adaptation of the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical: Evan Hansen is an anxious, isolated high-school student who's aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social media age. He soon embarks on a journey of self-discovery when a letter he wrote for a writing exercise falls into the hands of a grieving couple whose son took his own life. The first 50 people receive a free, Dear Evan Hansen-themed t-shirt! All guests will receive FREE entry, popcorn, a beverage, and discount coupons from our friends at supporting restaurants downtown for dinner following the event.
