Spring Awakening is a riveting rock musical that captures the desires, pain, excitement, and confusion of adolescence. Set in a rigid and repressive society, it follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the treacherous terrain of growing up—confronting sex, pregnancy, love, loss, and the suffocating pressures of school and family.

As they struggle to make sense of their inner lives and relationships, these young characters reach for connection, discover the power of their voices, and push back against the conservative forces that seek to silence them.

Driven by Tony Award-winning alternative rock score by Duncan Sheik, the music of Spring Awakening pulses with the urgency, defiance, and yearning of adolescence. Spring Awakening offers a powerful and poignant theatrical experience that resonates deeply with audiences of every generation.

This is preview night. $15 tickets are available for anyone.
