4:00 pm: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH audio-described performance & haptic tour (in-person)4:00 pm: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH audio-described performance & haptic tour (in-person) – Shotgun Players in Berkeley is presenting an audio-described performance and pre-show haptic tour of their production of the musical HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. Winner of four Tony Awards, HEDWIG is an “internationally ignored song stylist,” a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess. This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (played by actress Pangaea Colter - she/her) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the Bay Area’s Skip the Needle, a Black Dyke Rock band. “This production takes place here in Berkeley, CA at a dive bar,” Director Richard A. Mosqueda says. “This is a story about a person stepping into her own self and going on a journey of self-completion,” Mosqueda reveals. The performance takes place on Sunday, November 12. The haptic tour begins at 4:00 pm and the performance at 5:00 pm. The runtime is 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission. Ashby Stage is in Berkeley at 1901 Ashby Ave., just across the street from the northwest corner of the Ashby BART parking lot. Buy tickets online for HEDWIG or call the Shotgun Players box office: 510-841-6500 ext. 303. For more info, visit Shotgun Players HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH webpage. |
