The way that many of the
Spring Awakening actors can connect and relate to the brutality, oppression and experiences of their characters is very ... scary. On one hand, this makes for great theater and human connections in rehearsal; but on the other, it's frightening that what Wedekind wrote about so long ago is still being experienced in an era that most consider to be more socially advanced.
That's why we need to produce
Spring Awakening. It brings to light what normally stays behind closed doors, in Pandora's boxes and hidden away as shameful secrets.
Stage managing this show has been such a blessing. The universe must be returning a favor ... or something.
