Photo Flash: First Look at Melissa Southmayd, Zach Wachter and More in Stray Dog's SPRING AWAKENING

Stray Dog Theatre presents SPRING AWAKENING: A NEW MUSICAL, now playing through October 20, 2012. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.

The modern folk-infused rock adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s 19th century expressionist play portrays a group of young students coming of age in an uncomprehending world. Banned when first introduced, this controversial classic is still provocative as a contemporary musical in its uncompromising view of teenage angst and exhilaration. Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Spring Awakening is a celebration of the rebellious imperatives of youth. Contains Nudity, Strong Language, and Adult Situations.

Music by Duncan Sheik. Lyrics and Book by Steven Sater. Based on the play by Frank Wedekind. Presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

October 4 – 20, 2012: Show times are Thursday – Saturday at 8pm. Final Saturday, October 20 is at 2pm and 8pm.

Tickets: Adults $20.00 / Seniors (65+) & Students $18.00 (Cash/Checks/All Major Credit Cards) Theatre: Tower Grove Abbey, 2336 Tennessee Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63104. Gated Parking.
