StoryBook Theatre Presents SPRING AWAKENING Online

StoryBook Theatre has made the bold decision to move forward with their programming for the 44th Season, although it will look a little different for their production of Spring Awakening from August 28 to September 5, 2020.

"We may not be able to present our shows to a live theatre audience (yet), but we are excited by the potential this challenge presents and we are moving forward with the option to stream shows online exclusively to our ticket holders. No matter what, every ticket holder will still receive a wonderful production by an incredible community of artists, " said JP Thibodeau, Artistic Producer of StoryBook Theatre and the Director of this production.

The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years - it's a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion.

"You can expect a lot of music with a pop-rock influence, in-depth conversations, and themes that explore sexuality, suicide, love, coming of age and many more. Definitely a bit different than what our audience might be used to seeing, but it's the perfect story to tell with our cast of Student Summer Intensive Program students."

The program has seen more than 300 students work through a summer of intense musical theatre training since its creation in 2014. This summer was no exception as students navigated both online and in-person rehearsals to create this show. A musical theatre educational experience unlike any other offered in Alberta, this show is guaranteed to delight and showcase the community leaders of tomorrow.
