HEDWIG
and the Angry Inch
at Cleveland Public Theatre
Text by John Cameron Mitchell

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Trask
Directed by Lester Thomas Shane

"...this encore performance of Hedwig at Cleveland Public Theatre

is nothing short of outstanding, thanks in large part to the galvanizing
Dan Folino (as brash Ms. H) and a kick-ass band."

-Christine Howey, Scene Magazine

Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of transsexual rocker Hedwig
Schmidt, an East German immigrant who submits to a sex change operation in
an attempt to gain American citizenship. The operation is horribly botched
and Hedwig is left with a one-inch strip of undefined genitalia. Living
alone and penniless in a trailer park in Kansas, Hedwig meets Tommy Speck
who she introduces to the world of music, eventually grooming him to become
a major rock star, Tommy Gnosis. Tommy’s fame rises and Hedwig is left alone
once again feeling rejected, spiteful and jealous. Hedwig regains notoriety
when she and Tommy fall victim to a terrible accident that puts them in the
headlines of every major tabloid. We now find Hedwig performing with her
band, The Angry Inch along with her second husband Yitzhak across the river
from the venue where her former lover Tommy Gnosis is playing to a sell out
crowd.

Based loosely on the life of an East German immigrant woman who used to
baby-sit for librettist John Cameron Mitchell as well as the writings of
Plato’s Symposium, Hedwig’s character finds herself lost and alone, lashing
out in rebellion against her physical and emotional mutilation, all the
while motivated by an overpowering desire to find her "other half," whoever
or whatever that might be.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch opened its official Off-Broadway run on February
14, 1998, at the Jane Street Theatre in the old Hotel Riverview, a relic
near the Hudson River that once sheltered the surviving crew of the Titanic.
The show has been embraced by critics and audiences alike, quickly becoming
something of a cult classic.

Hedwig is directed by CPT veteran Lester Thomas Shane whose earlier works at
Cleveland Public Theatre include Sweet Phoebe, Mortal Coil and Science Gets
Serious. The original Cleveland cast of Hedwig And The Angry Inch returns
including Cleveland native Dan Folino as the tragic Hedwig and Alison Hernan
who serves double duty as Hedwig’s husband/roadie, Yitzhak, as well as
costume designer for Hedwig. The Angry Inch band is led by musical director
Dennis Yurich on guitar and is comprised of four other local gifted
musicians: Ms. Melvis on guitar, Mark Gamiere on bass, Steve Mehlman on
drums and Michael Seevers on piano and keyboards.

Hedwig And The Angry Inch is made possible with the generous support of The
George Fund Foundation, The Ohio Arts Council and the Cleveland
Foundation/BASICS program. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of 14 arts
organizations participating in BASICs; a five-year program of the Cleveland
Foundation. BASICs organizations receive operating support, customized
technical assistance and grants to help build capacity to manage the
necessary risk-taking of their art forms.
