Spring Awakening: The Study Guide
by Adam Freeman Pockross
http://www.csulb.edu/depts/theatre/Study%20Guides/SpringAwakening_StudyGuide.pdf

This is a 31-page, picture-free study guide written by Adam Pockross for the 2007 Cal State Long Beach production of Spring Awakening. Contents include: history of era and text, playwright's bio, themes, design statements, prompts (primary and advanced), director's notes, glossary, and a bibliography. Although no target audience is specified, the nature of the prompts (discussion questions) suggests high school or perhaps undergraduate students.
