Spring Awakening at Sunshine Brooks Theater

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening tells the powerful story of young people in 1890’s Germany on the cusp of adulthood, grappling with their emerging identities, desires, and the oppressive forces around them. The musical’s electrifying fusion of rock and emotional intensity explores timeless themes of sexuality, rebellion, and self-discovery in ways that are as relevant today as ever. Spring Awakening is a thought-provoking, groundbreaking piece that tackles difficult subjects such as suicide, sexual exploration, and mental health, with honesty and raw emotion.

Spring Awakening contains mature subject matter that may be activating for some audience members. The production includes depictions and themes of suicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, abortion, and sexuality. Viewer discretion is advised. We strongly encourage patrons to care for themselves during and after the performance and welcome any questions or concerns about the content.
