MET-X presents "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is excited to announce its upcoming production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, produced as part of the MET-X series that was created to expand the collective horizons of the MET ensemble and its audience. This collaboration provides local artists with a unique opportunity to work alongside seasoned professionals, offering a mutually beneficial partnership for both MET and the show’s production team.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, written by John Cameron Mitchell with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask, tells the story of Hedwig Robinson - an internationally-ignored, gender-bending, punk rock goddess from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Following a massive scandal involving the world-famous rock star who stole her songs, Hedwig embarks on a quest to reclaim the narrative by telling her outrageous and unexpectedly touching life story - all while backed by her rock band, “The Angry Inch.” This hilarious, heartbreaking, and all-around sensational journey of acceptance, self-awareness, and forgiveness has been captivating audiences worldwide since its off-Broadway debut in 1998, and MET is proud to bring it back to Frederick after over 20 years.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch runs from Friday, August 15 to Saturday, August 23 on Maryland Ensemble Theatre’s Robin Drummond MainStage. Performances will take place on Fridays at 8:00 pm and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and 10:30 pm with a runtime of approximately 1 hour 30 minutes with no intermission.

The show’s run begins on Thursday, August 14th at 8:00 pm with an entirely Pay-What-You-Will preview performance.

Our Friday, August 22nd performance will feature ASL interpretation services. Additional accessibility services can be arranged through the box office.
