JK Entertainment will present the final production of their inaugural season: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, the cult-classic created by John Cameron Mitchell (Text) and Stephen Trask (Music and Lyrics). The production will run from July 9 through July 26 at the Catalyst Ranch, following the 25th anniversary of the film. This bold new staging, directed by Arlo Kiss with music directed by Jonathan James , will feature a distinctive rotating-cast approach, with three actors alternating through each role across performances.

Loud, glitter-soaked, and unapologetically raw, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is a genre-defying rock musical about identity, heartbreak, and the messy, human search for wholeness. This production features three performers rotating through the roles each night, shattering the idea of a single Hedwig and revealing something deeper: this story isn't owned by one voice-it lives in all of us.

Part rock concert, part confession, Hedwig takes the stage to tell her story-of East Berlin, a botched surgery, and a love that split her wide open. Driven by a live band and iconic anthems like "The Origin of Love" and "Midnight Radio," the show is fierce, funny, and emotionally unfiltered.

JK Entertainment will donate $1 of every ticket sold to The Trevor Project , honoring the show's legacy and investing in a future where every identity is seen, valued, and free.

The rotating cast for HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH will be announced on June 10. JK Entertainment's production of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is directed by Arlo Kiss with music direction by Jonathan James .
