HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH to Close JK Entertainment's Inaugural Season in Chicago

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.
