"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" | August 6-8
The story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just “an angry inch.” This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch.” It’s a rocking ride, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

Watch the Show “Ted Lasso”
Great acting performances inspire their audience. We get to live vicariously through the performances and characters we watch. By watching them we cry, love, laugh, feel, get in touch with our own feelings and point of views of life. And if it’s great writing and acting, we contemplate on the message and may even change the way we are. It’s my opinion and passion that that is what we do, who we are, and why we do it. This month I want to talk about an entire show that I think speaks to this - “3 Reasons “Ted Lasso” is the Model Our Industry Needs.” More>>
