Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – The Department of Theatre Arts at
Saddleback College is presenting Spring Awakening, a youthful coming-of-age Broadway
musical on October 19-28 in the Studio Theatre
Spring Awakening is a rock musical with music by Duncan
Sheik and a book and lyrics by Steven Sater. It is based on the controversial
German play Spring Awakening (1891) by Frank Wedekind which was banned in
Germany for some time due to its frank portrayal of abortion, homosexuality,
rape, child abuse and suicide. Set in late-19th century Germany, the musical
tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of
sexuality. In the musical, alternative rock is employed as part of the folk-infused
rock score. This musical took Broadway by storm, winning eight Tony Awards
including Best Musical.
Directed by Daniel R. Trevino, with choreography by Ellen
Prince and musical direction by Christopher Smith.
Contains adult content
and is recommended for mature audiences.
