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. Due to contractual requirements, the video will only be available to view on demand for 48 hours – Saturday, December 18, 2021, at 12:00 a.m. (PT) through Monday, December 20, 2021, at 12:00 a.m. (PT).
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.

The USC School of Dramatic Arts is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive event. Should you need accommodations (such as closed captioning), please contact sdaevent@usc.edu. Please note due to timing, however, a future date may need to be arranged.
