HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
Text by John Cameron Mitchell
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Trask

Directed by Anna See-Jachowski
Musical Direction by Eric Jones

AUGUST 15 – 23

Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of Hedwig Robinson – an internationally-ignored, gender-bending punk rock goddess from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Following a massive scandal involving the world-famous rock star who stole her songs, Hedwig embarks on a quest to reclaim the narrative by telling her outrageous and unexpectedly touching life story – all while backed by her rock band, “The Angry Inch.” This hilarious, heartbreaking, and all-around sensational journey of acceptance, self-awareness, and forgiveness has been captivating audiences worldwide since its off-Broadway debut in 1998, and MET is proud to bring it back to Frederick after over 20 years.
For mature audiences

“…sharing a sound that’s cast in honesty, emotion and homespun sentiment…the songs say it all, providing clear indication that Goldpine has established a precious standard.” -Lee Zimmerman (Goldmine Magazine)

From Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium to listening rooms throughout the United States, husband-wife duo GOLDPINE has been offering their own brand of bold harmony-driven Americana to audiences large and small. WINNER of the 2022 Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest, their distinctive harmonies are clearly a channel for their sometimes-raucous, sometimes-reminiscent compositions. With an incredible collection of stories about life, love, and purpose, their live performance is a powerful projection of everything Goldpine is about: striking vocals, bold harmony, and introspection into the human experience.

After nearly a decade of honing in on their sound, Goldpine will release their third album, appropriately titled Three, which gives the listener a glimpse into their live energy captured from the road. On their lead single, “Alabama Born”, brazen family harmonies with understated guitars underscore the pain & joys of an Alabama upbringing. Mastered by Dave McNair (Shovels & Rope, Brandi Carlile), this Americana single emphasizes a father’s alcohol addiction and the burial of so many family members. On the minimalist single “Understand”, Kassie's country-retro-soul vocals give way to howling electric guitars and ethereal vocal interludes, as it balances the tenderness and tension of long-term love. Three is about real people and real situations, told through candid and passionate songwriting. Exposing the pains of severed relationships and unearthing the pursuits of love and purpose, Goldpine is cathartic, moody, dissonant and relevant, all intertwined into one.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.
Presented as part of the Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative.
