Set in Ohio, satirical comedian Lewis Black's production opens the door to the Coleman's house on the day their daughter is to marry a stuffy, wealthy emblem of the Reagan era.

This Tony Award-winning rock musical tells the story of desire and confusion as teenagers' hormones collide during the journey from youth to adulthood. Through rebellious trials and tribulations, the sensuality of the characters is often denied and suppressed, leading to tragic consequences. The poignant and revealing messages in Spring Awakening are powerful, passionate and unforgettable. For mature audiences only, due to sexual content and strong (profane) language.

With the help of her boyfriend, best friend and a wayward priest, Dot brings the audience on a journey that discovers the kind of vision needed not only to prevail over this disease, but to thrive with spirit, humor and hope. For mature audiences only, due to sexual content and strong language.
