The production is being directed and designed (Lighting and Set Design) by Matthew T. Teichner who helmed the company’s multiple award winning production of RENT in 2011 (winner of Best Musical for 2011 in the Times Union Reader’s Poll).  Joining the team are Matthew Streifert as musical director (Mark from 2011’s RENT) and Gregory Theodore Marsh as choreographer.
 
SPRING AWAKENING opened on Broadway in December of 2006 and won 8 Tony Awards including best musical, and 3 Drama Desk Awards.
 
This new and groundbreaking production of this popular show features a fresh new look with costumes designed by Susan Preiss with the assistance of and supplied, in part, by the landmark store Trash & Vaudeville on St. Mark’s Place in New York City.   Trash and Vaudeville supplied costumes for such Broadway shows as Green Day’s American Idiot, Rock of Ages, and RENT (New World Stages), to name just a few.  
 
The production’s overall look, stellar cast, and surprise elements will certainly make this the most spectacular theatrical event ever seen on stage in the Capital District.
