Spring Awakening

Directed by Jim Tropp, music directed by Matthew Imhoff and choreographed by Michael Stanek.

Bower City Theatre Company presents a winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical; SPRING AWAKENING is a rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind's 1891 expressionist play about the trials and tribulations, and the exhilaration of the teen years.

It’s Germany, 1891. The beautiful young Wendla explores her body and asks her mother where babies come from. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior defends his buddy Moritz -- a boy so traumatized by puberty he can’t concentrate on anything. One afternoon in the woods, Wendla and Melchior discover a desire unlike anything they’ve ever felt. SPRING AWAKENING explores the confusion and desperation that ensue when the onrushing tide of hormones meets the ignorance of children. SPRING AWAKENING celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy, and passion that you will never forget.

Spring Awakening will also be presented April 10-13 at the Bartell Theatre 113 East Mifflin Street Madison. Tickets are available at the Bartell box office one hour prior to curtain and online at www.bowercitytheatre.org.
