Dave Landis Directs 'Spring Awakening' at The Circuit Playhouse

Dave Landis talks about "Spring Awakening" running now through March 25, 2012 at Circuit Playhouse. The runaway hit, musical adaptation of the 1891 play by Frank Wedekind is the story of teens coming of age in a socially and sexually repressive village in 19th century Germany.

"Spring Awakening" is a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion infused with rock music in what Entertainment Weekly proclaimed, "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade." Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2007.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
