Elite Studio Works, a Murfreesboro-based theatrical company, will present Spring Awakening, The Musical at Walnut House Aug. 5–7.
Based on Frank Wedekind’s groundbreaking play, the musical, with a brilliant rock score by Duncan Sheik and lyrics and book by Sheik and Steven Sater, takes the emotional story of awakening, revolt and self-discovery into a new century.
It’s 1891, and grown-ups hold all the cards. Headstrong Melchior and naive Wendla stumble into each others’ arms, passionate and curious, while anxious Moritz struggles to live up to the expectations of society. With only each other for guidance, these and other youths travel the rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds and themselves along the way.
An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion, Spring Awakening fuses issues of morality, sexuality and rock ’n’ roll into a story that packs a powerful punch.
Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5, Friday, Aug. 6, and Saturday, Aug. 7, with additional 2 p.m. shows on Aug. 6 and 7.
The Walnut House is located at 116 N. Walnut St., Murfreesboro.
Advance tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students. Find tickets for Spring Awakening at the Walnut House at showtix4u.com.
