Theatre Out Presents:

Hedwig is ready to share her wild songs and mind-
blowing story with Theatre Out’s audience—the story
of a young slip of a girly-boy who escapes East Berlin
by leaving behind a little part of himself. In the search
for true love, Hedwig becomes the international song
stylist who fans adore and critics ignore. This dazzling
production, directed by Theatre Out Managing Director
David C. Carnevale, features Theatre Out favorite Darius
Rose as Hedwig and newcomer Michelle Hernandez as
Yitzhak. Musical Direction by Stephen Hulsey. Hedwig
and the Angry Inch runs June 5th through the 27th at
