What’s On (Calgary): Spring Awakening the Musical – Artists’ Collective Theatre

act.spring.card_.longBased on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play, “Spring Awakening” features an electrifying score by Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics Steven Sater, direction by Amanda Liz Cutting, Music Direction by Susan Lexa and choreography by Madeleine Suddaby.

 

Set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany, “Spring Awakening” tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers.

 

“Spring Awakening” contains mature themes, sexual situations and strong language, but this Tony Award winning musical is haunting and provocative, and it celebrates an unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy and a passion you will never forget.
