From Jason Katims, executive producer and showrunner of 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Parenthood,' and 'Hamilton producer' Jeffrey Seller comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in unexpected places. When dedicated teacher Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt, and takes over the lackluster theater department and its ambitious plans for a school production of 'Spring Awakening,' he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but also the entire working-class town.
