âThose youâve known and lost still walk behind youâ
Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening tells the powerful story of young people in 1890âs Germany on the cusp of adulthood, grappling with their emerging identities, desires, and the oppressive forces around them. The musicalâs electrifying fusion of rock and emotional intensity explores timeless themes of sexuality, rebellion, and self-discovery in ways that are as relevant today as ever.
âI knew I wanted Gerilyn to direct at OTC,â shared Artistic Director, Kevin “Blax” Burroughs. âWhen she expressed her passion for this show, it felt like the perfect fit. The themes of Spring Awakeningâfrom mental health to the struggles of finding oneâs place in the worldâare deeply important and continue to resonate with audiences.â
Spring Awakening is a thought-provoking, groundbreaking piece that tackles difficult subjects such as suicide, sexual exploration, and mental health, with honesty and raw emotion. With its poignant exploration of adolescence and its challenges, this production of Spring Awakening invites audiences to confront these enduring themes and reflect on the complexities of growing up in todayâs world.
Disclaimer: Spring Awakening contains mature themes, including strong language, sexual content, and discussions of mental health, and is recommended for mature audiences.
