Spring Awakening in North Hollywood

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

SPRING AWAKENING to open in Los Angeles
World Premiere at The Chandler Studio in North
Hollywood on September 21st

The Production Company proudly announces the opening
of Frank Wedekind's spell-binding tragic comedy Spring
Awakening, which is the basis for the smash-hit 2007
Tony Award-winning musical currently running to
standing ovations on Broadway.

Translated by Francis J. Ziegler and edited by August
Viverito, this will be the world premiere of this
adaptation of the play, and the first major production
of this important work in Los Angeles in many years.

Banned for many years as subversive and dangerous,
Wedekind's brainchild boldly explores the conflict
between repressive adulthood and adolescent sexual
longings in a provincial town in Pre-Hitler Germany,
but it is not simply about adolescent longings or any
singular community. Rather, it speaks of social
intolerance and injustice in such terms that it could
have been written today. So far ahead of its time in
fact, the play seems to explore the conflict between
liberalism and fundamentalism going on in present-day
America with assured clarity and almost Shakespearean
consequences, remaining highly entertaining as it
rides briskly from heartfelt comedy to breathtaking
drama.
Please note that adult themes are frankly explored in
this production.

Spring Awakening will launch the first full season at
the company's new home at The Chandler Studio in North
Hollywood on September 21st and will run Fridays and
Saturdays at 8 P.M. and Sundays at 3 P.M. through
October 27th.

Directed by August Viverito and produced by TL Kolman
for The Production Company.
