o MORITZ – Melchior’s best friend, a troubled student. He desperately tries to please his father, but always seems to disappoint him. His haunting sexual dreams and academic failures eventually drive him to suicidal thoughts. THIS ROLE MAY REQUIRE PARTIAL NUDITY

o HANSCHEN, ERNST, GEORG, and OTTO – Schoolboys and friends of Wendla, Melchior and Moritz. THESE ROLES MAY REQUIRE PARTIAL NUDITY

o ADULT WOMAN & ADULT MAN – A variety of rigid adult roles including parents and teachers.

Due to the frank sexual nature and content of SPRING AWAKENING we are seeking actors who will be over the age of 16 at the time of performances. Actors under the age of 18 will need parental consent to audition and to be cast in the show.
