DID YOU KNOW? Durham was nicknamed the "Bull City" in the late 1800s when the Blackwell Tobacco Company named its product "Bull" Durham Tobacco. By the time James B. Duke of the American Tobacco Company purchased the Blackwell Tobacco Company in 1898, Bull Durham was the most famous trademark in the world. It is now a thriving, modern city known for its medicine industry and Duke University.

REVIEWS

HERALD SUN "Taylor Trensch, who plays Moritz, steals the show. "Spring Awakening" is also a talker and a show that makes you remember your own teen years and hope that those you know and love can navigate them unscathed."

NEW OBSERVER Why “Spring Awakening” won eight Tony Awards is evident from the first few minutes. This innovative work, fitting an indie pop score to a century-old play, mixes traditional theater with rock concert. Although its treatment of teen sexuality, child abuse and societal repression is frank, raw and dark, no theater devotee should miss the national touring production now at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
