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

The sets and performances were wonderful, and the venue is small and intimate. This made for an emotionally compelling play that thoroughly drew me in. The young actresses did their jobs well; by the time the play ended I truly despised their characters. I was left questioning good and evil, and greater and lesser evils, as I believe Miller intended.Written on Nov 12 2011

Good overall. Some weak casting. Good set design, sound and lighting were nice too. It is a depressing play.Written on Nov 01 2011

Miller's message just as important today as it was when it was written 60 years ago. Good production. One or two of the cast members though were slightly weak or miscast . . . . though this did not alter the enjoyment of the play as a whole.Written on Nov 22 2011

Quotes & Highlights
- “A riveting, white-hot production from Keegan Theatre … Director Susan Marie Rhea’s vision, combined with powerful performances, make Keegan’s The Crucible a fresh viewing experience.” --The Washington Post (2004)
Description
he Keegan Theatre kicks off their 15th Anniversary season with Arthur Miller’s masterpiece The Crucible. Off a successful three-week tour of Ireland, The Crucible opens at the Church Street Theater.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest American plays of all time, The Crucible was originally written as a parable of 1950's McCarthyism. “McCarthyism was about intolerance born out of fear, a human impulse that has certainly repeated itself many times in world history,” director Susan Rhea explains. “The Crucible will always resonate – the larger context of brewing tensions over land and power and the underpinnings of religious intolerance – these realities are all too familiar today. And Proctor’s personal story, of a man searching for forgiveness and grace, is ageless and so human as well. Miller told both a small story and an epic story in The Crucible – and both stories are compelling and relatable as ever.”
Susan Marie Rhea directs The Crucible for the second time; Keegan first produced the show in the U.S in 2003 to widespread critical and audience acclaim and a sold-out run. A Keegan company member as well as its Associate Artistic Director, Rhea couldn't be happier with the success of this year's Ireland tour. "We have wanted to bring Crucible to Ireland for years, but financial realities -- size of the cast, for one -- kept us from being able to realize that dream,” she says. “So the satisfaction of this dream becoming a reality at last was profoundly rewarding for all involved –and the reception the show received was a tremendous and enthusiastic as we hoped it would be. We’re looking forward, now, to sharing this extraordinary production with local audiences.”
Mark A. Rhea reprises his acclaimed performance as John Proctor; The Crucible also features Sarah Lasko as Abigail Williams, Karen Novack as Elizabeth Proctor, and Kevin Adams.as Deputy Governor Danforth.
The Keegan Theatre, in its 15th season in Washington DC, is the resident company at Church Street Theater in Dupont Circle.
