Spring Awakening
Spring Awakening is a groundbreaking rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater, adapted from the controversial 1891 play by Frank Wedekind. Set in a repressive 19th-century German society, the show follows a group of teenagers as they discover the complexities of their changing bodies, desires, and identities in a world that refuses to educate or support them. The story examines the tragic consequences of ignorance, censorship, and societal shame surrounding sex and mental health. With a powerful alternative rock score, Spring Awakening bridges the past and present, giving voice to young people silenced for generations.
Content Warning: Spring Awakening contains mature themes including sexual content, abuse, suicide, and strong language. Recommended for ages 18 and up. Viewer discretion is advised.
As Above, So Below
Childhood friends to lovers, Iphis and Ianthe are finally engaged to be married, but Iphis has a secret.

As Above So Below is a reverse engineered musical revue drawing inspiration from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Greek mythology, and the poetry of Sappho. This indie/folk/rock musical combines movement and song in a celebration of queer joy that questions the trope of tragic queer love stories.
