Silenced and dismissed by authority figures in the firmly censored world of 19th century Germany, a group of teenagers are forced to discover the truth behind their feelings unaided.

The creative team includes Adam Quatishat (music director), Paisley ForsterSaunders (assistant director) Patty Meier (stage manager), Katherine Hauger (scenic designer), Colleen Ochab (sound designer), Mark Bracken Jr. (lighting designer), Lana Whittington (fight/intimacy choreographer), Jazmin Aurora Medina (costume designer), Caryn Harris (dramaturg), Denise Elizabeth Byrne (lighting intern), Dave Motley (properties designer), Jim Neal (technical director), Kyle David Perry (artistic producer), Josh Beadle (executive director).

“I see the show in duality within a cyclical nature,” comments Treadway. “Script vs song is 19th century vs contemporary with the music being a physical manifestation of everything these teens feel inside that cannot be voiced and understood due to societal norms. In the wake of #metoo, school shootings, teen and youth suicide, what steps has our society taken, what steps have we taken to encourage open and honest conversation with our children?”

“Spring Awakening” runs September 6 through September 28. For more information visit threebrotherstheatre.com.
