Spring Awakening at Topper Theatre in the Mullen Center for the Performing Arts

The Tony Award-winning musical by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, adapted from Frank Wedekind's 1891 play. The story follows young people in 19th-century Germany colliding with a world determined to control their desire, curiosity, and need to be understood. Wedekind's original play scandalized audiences, and more than a century later, the story remains urgently relevant. Directed by Valerie Joyce, a co-production with Villanova Student Musical Theatre.
