DECEMBER SHOWS
The Delaware Contemporary Museum is excited to partner with the City Theater Company (CTC) as they open with their 31st season with the alt-rock musical Spring Awakening! Spring Awakening, the landmark musical with a pop-rock score by singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by playwright Steven Sater, brings all the angst, romance, tragedy, and poetry of adolescence to CTC audiences this December.
The musical is based on a play by German playwright Frank Wedekind, written in 1891 and suppressed from being performed until 1906 for its frank condemnation of sexual and social taboos disguised as righteous correctness. The plot is deceptively simple. A small group of teenagers in a Victorian-era German town wrestle with their literal “awakening” on all things related to love and sex under, or perhaps in spite of, the eyes of their watchful and neglectful parents and teachers. NOTE: Rated R for mature audiences. Please note that Spring Awakening includes profanity, and deals with sensitive themes, including, but not limited to, sex, pregnancy, child abuse, death, and suicide.
