Meet the cast of Spring Awakening, a play following a group of young German students as they confront personal truths about sexuality, self-image, social status, and the traditional thinking suppressing their worldview. As the characters navigate unfamiliar stages of life and realize their relationships with others, shame, fear, and inexperience lead them to unexpected places. Eventually, characters fall victim to their strong feelings, pain is expressed outwardly and trouble ensues. This interpretation brings a punk rock spin to the angst embodied in the storyline of Frank Wedikind’s original play.
Spring Awakening features a compelling cast of Texas Theatre and Dance students, including Savanna Cole (Wendla), Adara Felix (Martha), Lea Donnenberg (Ilse), Frances Garnett (Thea), Deja Criston (Anna), Jeremiah Abdullah (Melchoir), Pedro Antonio Castañeda (Moritz), Oscar Salinas (Ernst), Hayden Daniel Cox (Hanschen), Nathan Tran (Georg), Will Hahn (Otto), Ryan Alvarado (Adult 1), Julleeanna Villarreal (Adult 2) and ensemble members Alfred Chou and Danielle Kane.
The production’s creative team includes Scott Bussey (Technical Director), Samantha Cole (Draper), Susan Finnigan (Music Director), Stephanie Mae Fisher (Costume Designer), Jeff Gan (Dramaturg), Tucker Goodman (Scenic Designer), Joseph Harrington (Draper), Aly Redland (Stage Manager), Bill Rios (Lighting Designer), Anna Skidis Vargas (Director), Logan Smith (Projection Designer), Jessica Peña Torres (Choreographer), Ben Truppin-Brown (Sound Designer) and Annie Ulrich (Draper).
