Hedwig is backed up by Yitzhak and the hard-rock band “The Angry Inch.” Hedwig transforms in this rock and roll tale by rising above the abuse, deceit and abandonment they have been carrying for many years. As Hedwig steps forward, courageously into the unknown, Yitshak takes their rightful place as the shining star of rock and roll on the midnight radio.<br class=""> <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">PERFORMANCES</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">Nov. 12, 13, 19 & 20 at 8 p.m.<br class="">Nov. 14 & 21 at 2 p.m.<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">TICKET INFORMATION</b><br class="">Adults - $8<br class="">Seniors (55 and over) - $5<br class="">Non-KSU Students (17 and under) - $5<br class=""><b class="">KSU Students - Free with current ID<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></b></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class="">Tickets can be purchased online or at the Fine Arts Box Office. <b class=""><a href="https://www.kent.edu/stark/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.kent.edu/stark/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch&source=gmail&ust=1636755703535000&usg=AOvVaw0hJ1UnPiv9rxotvGi3WZbs" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">View show and ticket details</a></b>. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class=""><a href="https://www.kent.edu/stark/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch" class="">https://www.kent.edu/stark/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch</a></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><i class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Produced by Kent State University at Stark Theatre Department<br class="">Directed by TC Mavis Jennings<br class="">Music Directed by Steven Parsons</span></i></div></body></html>
