Based on the German play by Frank Wedekind, the musical tells the story of repressed teenagers in 1891 discovering the inner and outer turmoil of teenage sexuality. As they leave childhood behind, their most private and truthful thoughts are expressed through alternative rock and folk music. The Gallery Players’ production will feature actors, some of whom may also serve as musicians in addition to the orchestra. Please pay close attention to the instruments listed for each character in the breakdown below and either bring it to play during your audition or list your skill level on your resume. There will be a keyboard provided. Remember, playing an instrument is not required to audition. Color and gender blind casting is also highly encouraged. All talents are welcome! There might be brief moments of nudity in the production for the characters of Wendla and Melchior, if the actors are comfortable and willing. This will not be required for any actor. Prepare a short rock, pop, or folk song that shows your unique personality or sing 16 bars from the show. Please, no traditional Broadway show tunes. All of the teenage characters in the musical Spring Awakening should look 13-15 years old. Because of the mature subject matter of the show, all actors auditioning must be at least 18 years old to be considered. (All instruments are suggestions, not requirements) GIRLS
