Music/lyrics by Stephen trask

Directed by JD Caudill

With music and lyrics by Stephen Trask and a book by John Cameron Mitchell, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" follows the journey of Hedwig Robinson, a genderqueer East German singer leading a fictional rock and roll band. As Hedwig navigates themes of identity, love, and self-discovery, audiences are taken on a thrilling and unforgettable ride filled with heart, humor, and raw emotion.

Tyler Anthony Smith will play the titular role. Known for their roles with Hell in a Handbag Productions, they bring a plethora of charisma and grit to this coveted role. As Yitzhak, Ismael García transforms into the multifaceted, complex lover of Hedwig, doubling as other people haunting Hedwig’s life. The understudies are Haven stalwarts Larry D Trice II and Crystal Claros.

Band members include: Harper Caruso (Music Director/Piano), Nate Hall (Guitar), Alek Boggio (Bass) and Mia Park (Drums).
