The award-winning musical “Spring Awakening” is a rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and a book and lyrics by Steven Sater. It is based on the 1891 German play Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind, whose work, which often criticizes bourgeois attitudes (particularly towards sex), is considered to anticipate expressionism and was influential in the development of theatre of the absurd. Wedekind was also a life-long guitar player and surely would have been a rock star today. Hence, the 21st-century musical blends the 19th-century play with an alternative rock score.

MORNING’S AT SEVEN Runs Aug. 20-Sept. 5

DPH_Mornings at Seven logoMORNING’S AT SEVEN
Dayton Theatre Guild
Aug. 20-Sept. 5
[Dayton]

Directed by Rick Flynn
Produced by Christina Tomazinis

Cast: Dave Nickel as Theodore Swanson, Dorothy Michalski as Cora Swanson, Tori Tuccillo as Aaronetta Gibbs, Cheryl Mellen as Ida Bolton, Richard Young as Carl Bolton, Jeff Sams as Homer Bolton, Heather Atkinson as Myrtle Brown, Barbara Jorgensen as Esther Crampton & Charles Larkowski as David Crampton

This 1939 comedy tells the story of four aging sisters who live in a small mid-western town, and their long-standing sibling rivalries. Three of them — Ida, Cora and Arry — have lived next door to each other for fifty years, and Esther, the eldest, lives only a few blocks away. We quickly learn that living so close to one another has taken its toll. Some start to question their lives and decide to make some changes before it’s too late. In 1980, MORNING’S AT SEVEN was nominated for the Tony award for Best Revival of a Play.
