Spring AwakeningDecember 2 - January 21: Winner of 8 TONY Awards, including BEST MUSICAL, Spring Awakening celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy, and passion that you will never forget. It's 1891 in Germany, and the beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body while the fearless Melchior and his classmates come to the defense of Moritz - a boy so traumatized by puberty he can't concentrate on anything. One afternoon - in a private place in the woods - Melchior and Wendla meet by accident, and soon find within themselves a desire unlike anything they've ever felt, while the other characters careen forward with self-discoveries that challenge their adult superiors. Set to a rocking score by Duncan Sheik, "Spring Awakening" explodes onto the Trustus Main Stage this winter. Columbia. trustus.org
