I am looking forward to joining the Oglethorpe University Theatre Program in their production of Spring Awakening. I will be playing guitar in the pit for this winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Spring Awakening is a groundbreaking rock musical about adolescent love, the trials of puberty, and the friendships that young people build in the face of an uncomprehending world. Inspired by Frank Wedekind’s once-banned and still provocative German play from 1891, this Spring Awakening holds a mirror up to our own time, and has become a must-see musical of a new generation.
