It's showtime folks. Coastal Carolina University Theatre takes the stage once again, this time with the controversial play "Spring Awakening."
Written by Frank Wedekind in 1891, this play centers around teens awkwardness and discovery of sexual awareness. This rock musical is being preformed all over the country, as the Broadway adaptation recently was awarded 8 Tony awards and is touring the country.
The students of CCU may not be on Broadway, yet, but they definitely will live up to the hype as they bring you they captivate you with this less than comfortable subject.
The cast of twenty-four will draw you in to topics of teenage desire, suicide, abortion and homosexuality. All of which are affecting today's youth.
It's a play that almost everyone can relate to. If the night's subject didn't happen to you, you probably know somebody who did go through it. This play is as real as it gets and it will be sure to take you through a full range of emotions.
Get ready for a night filled with adventure and excitement. The cast at CCU is backed by the faculty rock band Virtue Trap, who could not have a more fitting name, and they are sure to have you on your feet in hope of an encore.
