Spring Awakening
October 28–31, 2021
Summary
This electrifying rock adaptation of a 1906 play about sexual and intellectual exploration among teens in a small German town explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with poignancy and passion. The eight-time Tony Award-winning musical begins as a straightforward tale of girl-meets-boy but exposes the complicated landscape of teenage life bubbling beneath the surface of propriety and social expectations.
Special Streaming Opportunity
We are pleased to present a special 48-hour encore opportunity to view Spring Awakening, recorded earlier this semester.

Cost to view this streamed performance is $5 per device.
Please be advised that the show contains mature themes of sexual violence, suicide, and use of pre-recorded sound of firearms.
