Spring Awakening

The Ephrata Performing Arts Center presents Spring Awakening, the rock musical adapted from Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play. This production explores themes of adolescent sexuality, education, and rebellion through a contemporary rock score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater.

This Sunday afternoon performance on October 25, 2026, offers a chance to see a compelling theatrical work in Ephrata. The Ephrata Performing Arts Center is a local institution known for its intimate productions, making it a good fit for the emotional depth of Spring Awakening. It generally appeals to those interested in contemporary musical theater and stories with a social commentary edge.
