  • Spring Awakening Program

    Spring Awakening Program

    DRAMATURG’S NOTE Just as trees bud and flowers bloom, year after year more children grow into adult bodies. Also, year after year adult society pushes those young people to regulate their behavior and conform to social expectations, often without offering adequate instruction about the facts of life and providing space for exploration and self-expression. For the adults, it may seem easier to keep adolescents in ignorance and unsupported, rather than have difficult conversations about topics such as procreation, masturbation, abortion, homosexuality, physical and sexual abuse, and suicide. That was the situation in 1891 when German dramatist Frank Wedekind wrote Frühlings Erwachen (Spring’s Awakening or Spring Awakening), a play that was shocking in its defiance of conventional middle-class values. A poet and a cabaret performer, as well as a playwright, Wedekind experimented with form, anticipating the expressionist movement in theatre. Wedekind regularly challenged stuffy, bourgeois society with his choice of subject matter. A frank exploration of sexual themes is also central to Wedekind’s other best known plays, Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box. Sometimes referred to as the “Lulu plays” these works depict a woman who ascends to wealth and social prominence through her sexual liaisons with various men before descending into impoverished prostitution and an early death at the hands of Jack the Ripper. Wedekind had Spring Awakening published at his own expense, but the play was unproducible in 1891. It finally premiered in a production directed by Max Reinhardt in Berlin in 1906. For many years, productions of the play in various locations encountered local censorship that restricted performance or required revisions to the text.

    Spring Awakening Dramaturgy Casebook

    Spring awakening Dramaturgy CaSebook Play by Frank Wedekind Adapted by Steven Sater Music by Duncan Sheik Clint Sides Jazmine Logan 1 Central to every happy and well-adjusted adult life has been the ability to live through the challenges and traumas of adolescence and young adulthood. The perils of awakening sexuality in each of ourselves brands us with our own individuality. This play honestly addresses feelings and events that connect us all. Themes of the Play This play resonates with young people today for the same reasons it did when written, over a century ago. The constant and never-ending challenge of teaching each new generation of children how to positively grow into their adult bodies, with healthy attitudes and a sound understanding of their own sexuality. Spring Awakening was written by an educator; a man who saw a need for openness and honesty about what was wrong with children’s educations in the Europe of the 19th century. Parents’ fears and expectations for their adolescent children were causing suffering and despair for the young; as much can be said about parents in America today. The Progress of a Century Where do parents in today’s world stand on sex education? How are we addressing the problems children face that lead them to despair and thoughts of suicide? Are parents and educators any more prepared to help the young deal with the problems and challenges of growing up in our modern, tech-heavy society which is changing so fast? Have we 2 grown up more comfortable with our own sexuality; more accepting of all the variations that naturally occur in such a large population? How the Play Impacts a Modern Audience These young actors present us with these questions; asking us all to examine honestly our own fears and doubts, our own uncertainties about raising children.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: Jasmine Jiang, 240.670.8798 [email protected] ROUND HOUSE THEATRE CONTINUES SEASON WITH GROUNDBREAKING ROCK MUSICAL SPRING AWAKENING January 22 – February 23 at Round House Theatre Bethesda, Md. (December 19, 2019) – Round House Theatre continues its 2019-2020 Homecoming Season with Spring Awakening, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s Tony®- winning musical adaptation of the play by Frank Wedekind. Directed by Alan Paul, Spring Awakening runs January 22 – February 23, 2020 in the newly renovated Round House Theatre. Please see below for complete program details and ticket information. Praised by the New York Times as “exhilarating … a fresh breeze of true inspiration,” Spring Awakening follows a group of repressed and restless adolescents grappling with the onset of adulthood. With music by American singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater, the bold musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s provocative 19th- century play illuminates the anxieties, agonies, and ecstasies of growing up with an electrifying mix of poignancy and rock and roll. A groundbreaking Broadway hit that won eight Tony® Awards in 2007—including Best Musical, Book, Original Score, and Orchestrations—Spring Awakening‘s exploration of the gulf between teens and adults has only gained relevance in the past decade. Alan Paul will make his Round House directorial debut at the helm of this production, which he hopes will resonate with audiences in 2020 just as much as it did in 1981. “I love this show because it is such a human exploration of growing up and discovering who you are,” says Paul.
