"Spring Awakening," the title seems to demand an exclamation point.
"Spring Awakening" evokes the innocence of the season for blossoming, just the right metaphor for adolescents becoming aware of their emerging sexuality.
The theme of the musical is innocence, innocence in all its angst, roiling emotions, betrayals and folly.
The 1891 German play by Frank Wedekind turned into contemporary rock musical by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater depicts in graphic terms the sexual awakening of young teens, caught between childhood and the confusing demands of their bodies. They are precariously perched on the verge of adulthood, if they live that long.
"Spring Awakening," directed by Dr. Michael Ellison with musical direction by Jared Dorotiak, opens Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Donnell Theatre on the Bowling Green State University campus and continues Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2. Mature audiences only.

Way Library celebrating art of poetry |

PERRYSBURG - The world has plenty of poets, but who is out there to read their verse?
"It just seems like more of an ancient tradition that some people are carrying on, but it is drowned out by everything else in popular culture," said Leonard Kress, a poet, publisher, playwright and philosopher.
Annually April - "the cruelest month," according to poet T.S. Eliot - is designated as National Poetry Month.
"It's so out of the spotlight most of the time, at least there's one time it occasionally gets featured," Kress said. "There's a lot of people writing, but not so much interest in reading or promoting or hearing it."
In celebration of April as National Poetry Month, Way Public Library will host "Rhymes, Rhythms, and Rhetoric," a poetry reading sponsored by PRIZM Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
