The READ College Acting Showcase 2015 was Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening, translated by Edward Bond. This dark, biting, and brilliant exploration of adolescent sexuality and adult control and repression follows as a group of teenagers struggle with fear and curiosity about their growing sexual feelings, while the adults raise a wall of disgust and misinformation, and the consequences of this clash.
