High School Center Stage is a unique program that brings the relevancy of contemporary American Musical theatre to the high school classroom. Students have an opportunity to explore themes and issues present in the musical that are meaningful and timely to their lives. A year long program that is tied in with the selected curriculum, partnering teachers and the RBTL Director of Education work in tandem to create a thought provoking and stimulating program that will further develop critical thinking and show the universality of musical theatre. The program will be enhanced by guest speakers, panel discussions, and experiential workshops that will prepare them for the experience of seeing a live Broadway musical.
Spring Awakening will be the High School Center Stage musical for the 2009-2010 school year.
Broadway's most talked about new musical is now the biggest Tony Award® Winner in years. SPRING AWAKENING has awakened Broadway like no other musical in years. Winner of eight Tony Awards® including Best Musical, SPRING AWAKENING celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget. We agree with The New York Times that "Broadway may never be the same again!"
"HAUNTING AND ELECTRIFYING! This brave new musical has a shivery sensual allure unmatched by anything in the theatre right now." - Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
