The UMBC Musical Theatre Club presents Spring Awakening! In this coming-of-age rock musical, students in late nineteenth century Germany are caught between parents who shed too little light on the facts of puberty and sex, and teachers who place too much pressure on students regarding their academic performance. Abuse is shared in secret, relations are conducted with little comprehension of their consequences, and release is sought from both sexual frustration and from the pressures of life.
CONTENT WARNING: Spring Awakening contains rape/sexual assault and suicide.
