Tony Award-Winning Musical Spring Awakening by Keegan Theatre
- Full Price:
- $40.00
- Our Price:
- $20.00
Spring Awakening is an awesome rock musical and Broadway smash that won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Based on the Expressionist play that caused a scandal in 19th-century Germany, this poignant musical follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the confusing and often troubled waters of adolescence, complicated by their budding sexuality. Inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play, the musical's angst, emotion, desire and romance still ring true today, and its acclaimed score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater turns this timeless story into a powerful coming-of-age rock musical. The Keegan Theatre's production is directed by two-time Helen Hayes nominees Susan Marie Rhea and Mark A. Rhea. Learn More

An intriguing story about the human condition and what drives us to behave the way we do, however, illogical, at first glance. The audience can gain levels of understanding in the very successful characterizations of the two talents on the stage. With humor, pathos, suspense, and sensitivity, the play resonates across the generations in our own personal dramas.Written on Jun 16 2008

Well acted in an intimate theater but the play focused on two powerless people scheming to take advantage of each other without revealing the interests which kept them in poverty or offering a vision of how to change the system.Written on Jun 23 2008

Description
Neglect
by Sharyn Rothstein (A Washington, DC Premiere)
Directed by Jessie R. Gallogly
Neglect is the story of an elderly woman, Rose, and her young neighbor, Joseph, who come together on the first day of a brutal Chicago heat wave to escape the unbearable heat and their own feelings of loneliness. A story of social responsibility, Neglect is an often funny, deeply moving play about what holds us together and what keeps us apart.
