Summer Musical Spring Awakening @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts
Jul 20 @ 7:30 pm
Summer Musical Spring Awakening @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

With an electrifying score that swings from folk to rock, Spring Awakening follows the unforgettable journey of a group of students in late 19th century Germany as they move from adolescence into adulthood. Facing both the devastation and the wonder of sexuality and self-discovery, the characters navigate through their coming-of-age despite parents and authority figures who are intent on withholding information and suppressing thought and expression. Adapted from Frank Wedekinds 1891 expressionist play abouth the trials, tears, and exhilaration of the teen years, which was banned in its time, this modern masterpiece is an exhilarating fusion of morality, seuality and rock & roll.
