Spring Awakening at Wilner Auditorium

The recent snow and cold weather delayed our production schedule. Due to this, the Thursday night (2/20) performance of Spring Awakening has been canceled.

Join Wichita State University's School of Performing Arts for performances of Spring Awakening, directed by Jacob McGlaun, with musical direction by Dacia Brown. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. February 21-22 and at 2:00 p.m. on February 23 in Wilner Auditorium.

Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s brilliant rock score and searingly emotional book take the story of sexual awakening, youth revolt, and self-discovery into a new century. Headstrong Melchior and naive Wendla stumble into each other’s arms, passionate and curious, while anxious Moritz struggles to live up to the stringent expectations of society. With only each other for guidance, this group of young men and women travel the fraught and rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds, and themselves along the way. An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion that packs an emotional punch.  

*Rated R: Spring Awakening contains sexual situations, explicit language, and scenes depicting violence and suicide. Audience members under the age of 16 are strongly recommended to attend with a trusted adult.
