Spring Awakening at Relic Theatre Company

Based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play, Spring Awakening opened on Broadway to mass acclaim in 2006, and has not lost an ounce of relevancy since. Exploring themes of sexuality, women’s reproductive rights, mental health, and the consequences of intellectual repression, the musical celebrates and mourns the invariable struggles young people face. With a blend of gritty, rock-infused melodies and poetic, poignant lyrics, the musical offers a raw and unflinching look at the journey into adulthood.
