GIVEAWAY!
Our friends at SoulPepper Theatre are giving Inside Out’s audience a chance to win two tickets to see Spring Awakening in September!
Experience the original play that inspired the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical phenomenon. Spring Awakening is a fierce, haunting coming-of-age story about young people on the brink of adulthood–pushing back against repression, demanding truth, and struggling to claim agency in a world determined to deny it.
