"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.

“The Wake of Dick Johnson” | August 5-25 | Hollywood Fringe Festival
In this pitch-black, one-man comedy, Dick Johnson lies in an open casket, surrounded by flickering candles, dead flowers, and a red neon cross nailed above him. In this small, claustrophobic and intimate room, the audience are the attendees of his wake, when he returns from the other side for one last bottle of his beloved hooch, to enlighten us about grim realities we all face in the afterlife, and have a conversation with his pedophilic Uncle Willy.

"La Divina: The Last Interview of Maria Callas” | August 7-22 | Hollywood Fringe Festival
The audience eavesdrops on La Divina’s interview with a nonexistant Mr. Wallace and are taken on a journey through trauma, allowed glimpses of an extremely complex and tormented woman, and treated to some operatic gems, including “O Mio Babbino Caro,” “Habanera,” and “Vissi d’arte.” The show provides interesting tidbits from the singer’s life — how opera kept her alive during World War II — and delves some into her complicated relationship with Aristotle Onassis, while offering insight into the singer’s own complications.

“Gold Baby” | August 14-22 | Hollywood Fringe Festival
Lush, glamorous, and a hot mess, “Goldbaby” is more than just one flavor. Their inclusive and timely comedy is both a love letter to, and a twist on, classic sketch. “Goldbaby” blends the simple with the absurd, sexiness with satire, and the whatever that third thing is that makes you laugh. To put it simply, we’re gold, baby. Solid gold.
