German Play comes to Chicago!

Spring Awakening "Frühlings Erwachen" will be in Chicago this August. It is based on the play by Frank Wedekind. Read about it online:

The play deals with teens coming of age. It takes place in 1890 and was originally banned in the US for content. I believe it will be controversial still today. Nevertheless, it is always nice to see that German culture makes it across the Atlantic.
