Florida Repertory Theatre Education's production of SPRING AWAKENING brings topics that are often considered a?oetabooa?? for youth to life on stage, showcasing the dangers of a lack of education, discussion, and sympathy. This production of SPRING AWAKENING is especially important because not only does it allow the audience to view and discuss these topics, but the cast of the show is also comprised of mostly teenagers, and I think this fact makes it even more meaningful because a lot of the things happening in the show are things people their age actually deal with.

Florida Repertory Theatre's Education Department is pleased to present a?oeSpring Awakening,a?? with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater. The eight-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical is the next offering in the theatre's popular Conservatory Program and runs August 9-11 and 15-17 in the Historic Arcade Theatre.
