Director's Note

I wish Spring Awakening was not considered a ‘timeless’ show. By all accounts, it fits the bill, doesn’t it? A timeless show is one that has in no way lost its relevance since its original release, it’s themes, story, and subjects just as potent and impactful today. Abuse, neglect, the encroaching of Church upon state, the dangers of overly controlled or ‘cleaned’ way of education that leaves children unequipped to deal with the sometimes harsh and brutal nature of reality, and more. None of this has stopped being relevant to us today. A lot of this looms larger in the wake of our current administration and climate. But, this also means that all of the hope of these characters, their romance, their passion, their vigor, their idealism, that is just as persistent and timeless as the sorrow. And it is in sharing this story and witnessing the bravery and hope of these kids in the face of such oppression that we hope to keep it alive, that we hope to help us all eventually find our purple summer. We tell this story to you now hoping that one day it is only the dream of these kids that is timeless, and we can finally look back on the ways in which society failed them and say, “Well, things were different back then.” Thank you for being here.

He previously appeared in Rock of Ages and The Wedding Singer, making this his third show - and somehow, he’s still learning how to hit his marks. Much like choreography, collaboration isn’t an easy thing to master, and it doesn’t necessarily get easier with time. But there’s something meaningful about learning to move in sync with others and work toward a common goal. So for that, he’s thankful for the fact opportunity - and the challenge.
