Monday, April 15, 7:00 – 8:00PM

Join us for a stimulating theater presentation and discussion led by local actors and teaching artists Nora Montanez and Jay Owen Eisenberg. Nora and Jay will read two scenes in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a play that is being presented at the Theater Latte Da from March 27th through May 5th. The readings will be followed by a discussion of the themes, tying in current events, personal values and narratives, and stimulating critical thinking. Written by John Cameron Mitchell. A German emigrant living in a trailer in Kansas is the victim of a botched sex-change operation. Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock theater hit and winner of the 2014 Tony award for Best Musical Revival, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of the “internationally ignored” rock singer’s search for stardom and love. With one of the most unique characters ever to hit the stage, the play is an inspiration to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

On Stage is a fiscally sponsored program through Springboard for the Arts, and is designed to strengthen community support by reaching a wider “non-traditional” theater audience. This program aims to give participants a new perspective on the possibilities of live theater and in dramatic literature in general. Discussions touch on important ethical and civic questions, as well as other themes developed in the chosen works. In addition to community events, On Stage has arranged for discount tickets to Theater Latte Da’s production if you would like to see the show. Please attend the discussion to hear more.
