Arena Civic Theatre Ignites a Raw, Rebellious New Take on Hedwig and the Angry Inch,
Directed by Megan Healey - A Rock Musical Fundraiser for TransHealth
Turners Falls, MA -
[October 9th-17th, 2025] - Arena Civic Theatre is proud to present a raw,
rebellious new production of the cult-classic rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Directed
by Megan Healey, this stripped-down, amped-up staging doubles as a fundraiser for
TransHealth, a Western Massachusetts nonprofit that provides gender-affirming healthcare and
support to the trans community.
Performances will take place at the historic Shea Theater in downtown Turners Falls. In a twist
worthy of Hedwig herself, the roles of Hedwig and Yitzhak will be alternated between two
powerhouse performers - Clay Gregory and Charlie William - each bringing their own fire and
vulnerability to the stage.
Fueled by a blistering rock score and razor-sharp wit, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the story of
a genderqueer East German rocker navigating heartbreak, identity, and radical self-invention.
This production honors the show’s gritty roots while pushing it into bold new
territory/artistically charged, community-driven, and unapologetically queer.
Every member of the cast and crew is donating their time to ensure that 100% of proceeds
support TransHealth’s mission of inclusive, life-affirming care.
