Spring Awakening
April 12 - May 6, 2012
CLOSED MAY 6
Rarig Center Stoll Thrust Theatre
Book and lyrics by Steven Sater • Music by Duncan Sheik • Based on the play by Frank Wedekind • Music Direction by Denise Prosek • Choreography by Carl Flink • Directed by Peter Rothstein
A dynamic rock adaptation of Frank Wedekind's expressionist play about a group of teenagers coming of age in an uncomprehending world. Banned when the play first premiered in 1891, the contemporary musical is still provocative in its uncompromising gaze at the trials, tears, and exhilaration of the teen years.
Winner of eight Tony Awards and hailed as Best Musical of the year by The New York Times, New York Post, Star Ledger, Journal News, New York Observer and USA Today, Spring Awakening is a celebration of the rebellious imperatives of youth.
Presented in partnership with the University of Minnesota Department of Theatre Arts and Dance.
This activity is made possible, in part, by a grant provided by the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature from the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
