BOOKS AND LYRICS BY STEVEN SATER

MUSIC BY DUNCAN SHIEK

It’s Germany, 1891. The beautiful young Wendla explores her body and asks her Mother where babies come from. Elsewhere. the brilliant and fearless young Melchior defends his friend Moritz – a boy so traumatized by puberty he can’t concentrate on anything. One afternoon in the woods, Wendla and Melchior discover a desire unlike anything they have ever felt.

SPRING AWAKENING explores the confusion and desperation that ensue when the onrushing tide of hormones meets the ignorance of children (and the adults in their lives). Celebrating the unforgettable journey youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy and passion you will never forget. All backed by a contemporary rock score by Duncan Shiek.

We have all or will all live it… there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
