Photo Flash: First Look at Outcry Theatre's SPRING'S AWAKENING

Outcry Theatre is excited to present the groundbreaking Spring's Awakening from July 6-15 at the Addison Theatre Centre's Studio Theatre.

The original play that inspired the hit musical Spring Awakening, this show is a rarely performed classic. Written by Frank Wedekind and first published in 1891, this version was translated by Eric Bentley. At times hilarious, at others heartbreaking, the story shows the varied consequences that inadequate sexual education has on young people. Banned following its premiere, this play is ever relevant, especially in Texas, where a quarter of schools do not teach sex education and the teen birth rate is the fourth highest in the nation.

Leading the cast are Jake Blakeman as Melchior, Mira Agustin as Wendla, and Bryce Lederer as Moritz. The rest of the cast includes: Emory Otto as Ilse, Andy Stratton as Hanschen, Ryder Houston as Ernst, Madison Armstrong as Martha, Myah Durham as Thea, Jenna Caire as Mrs. Bergmann, Cary Bazan as Rektor Sunstroke, Autumn McNamara as Mrs. Gabor, Matthew Rigdon as Mr. Gabor, Jason Johnson-Spinos as the Man in the Mask, Dylan Weand as Georg, Harrison Polen as Otto, Logan Beutel as Robert, and Caleb Ross as La?mmermeier.

The creative team for Spring's Awakening is led by Director Becca Johnson-Spinos, the artistic director of Outcry Theatre. Bradley Gray is the Set Designer, Gabrielle Grafrath is the Costume Designer, Hannah Winkler is the Lighting Designer, Jason Johnson-Spinos is the Sound Designer, Elizabeth Cantrell is the Stage Manager, and Lindsey Brandow is the Assistant Stage Manager.
