<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In collaboration with Baldwin-Wallace College Music Theatre Program, the Beck Center for the Arts presents the Tony Award-winning rock musical,
<i>Spring Awakening</i>, now through March 4, 2012 on the Mackey Main Stage. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Based on the controversial 19<sup>th</sup> century German play by Frank Wedekind,
<i>Spring Awakening</i> explores with passion and poignancy the turbulent journey from adolescence to adulthood. This landmark musical swept the 2007 Tony Awards winning eight out of its eleven nominations, including Best Musical and Best Score.
<i>Spring Awakening</i> is an exhilarating mix of morality, sexuality, and rock & roll including hard-hitting songs like “Mama Who Bore Me,” “My Junk,” “The B**** of Living,” and “Totally F***ed.”
