Spring Awakening

Spring Awakening is a coming-of-age pop rock musical that charts the inner lives of an interconnected group of teenagers in a small German town in the nineteenth century as they navigate the trials of their teen years - discovering their sexualities and libidos, confronting their past trauma, and entering a new and more “adult” phase of life. The repressive atmosphere of the period is juxtaposed with the modern score that speaks for the inner lives of the characters, every bit as angsty, desirous of freedom and hungry for something more as we are today. 

Note: Spring Awakening contains depiction of a suicide through use of a firearm, depictions and discussions of graphic sexuality including semi-nudity, simulated sex, masturbation, intimate partner violence, depictions and discussions of child abuse and corporal punishment, grief, discussion of self-harm, abortion, death and sexual assault.
