Spring Awakening
Through October 12, 2008

Spring Awakening takes its inspiration from one of literature's most controversial masterpieces, a work so daring in its depiction of teenage self-discovery it was banned from the stage and not performed in its complete form in English for nearly 100 years. It is a story of uncontrollable emotions, first love and lasting regrets.
