An Evening of Music-Theater

with Scot Gresham-Lancaster,

Dean Terry and Fred Curchack

 
Three utterly demented UTD Professors team up for an evening of death-defying music-theater.

This one-night only event promises to annihilate all preconceptions about music, theater, and existence.

Startlingly original works, analog synthesis, rap, experimental guitar, mask and shadow-magic, mind-boggling illuminations of Shakespeare and William Blake poems, and potty-mouthed tales of Superman.

Friday, April 24 at 8:00 pm
Margo Jones Theatre in Fair Park
1121 First Ave. / Dallas TX

The Other Half Theatre Experience revives its critically acclaimed and long running production. Robert Rain stars from February – March of 2015!

Written by John Cameron Mitchell and music by Steven Trask, the musical is currently playing on Broadway starring Neil Patrick Harris. The Other Half Theatre Experience ran the production for an open-ended run in Fort Worth, TX in 2004 and 2005. This groundbreaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation. 

It tells the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just “an angry inch.” This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch.” Using songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story, which began in the former East Berlin where as Hansel he meets Luther, an American GI who promises to take the young man to the States on the condition that he switch his sex. After the bungled operation, Luther abandons newly named Hedwig in a Kansas trailer park where she turns to music and meets geeky Tommy Speck, whom she takes under her wing and soon falls for. Tommy steals her songs, achieves rock star fame, and Hedwig is once again cast aside. She decides to demand redress and stalks Tommy’s world tour, performing in the T.G.I. Friday’s that are situated next door to his stadiums. Hedwig describes her life’s search for “The Origin of Love” and her other half. 

It’s a rocking ride, funny, touching and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
