EDGAR & EMILY
by Joseph McDonough
OCT 10 – NOV 4, 2018
In January 1864, reclusive poet Emily
Dickinson receives a surprise guest: Edgar
Allan Poe. Although Poe died 15 years prior,
he arrives quite alive and just as energized
by death as ever before – one could say
death kindly stopped for Emily, after all.
Though the evening pits the pendulum of
both poets’ personalities against the other
in this comic fantasia, Emily and Edgar fi nd
they have a lot in common despite their
differences. The heart tells the tale, you
know.

HEDWIG AND
THE ANGRY INCH
by John Cameron Mitchell and
Stephen Trask
AUG 15 – SEP 9, 2018
The gold glitter standard of queerglam
rocker musicals, Hedwig and the Angry
Inch follows German immigrant-turnedtransgender
Kansas-trailer-park-wannaberock
goddess Hedwig Robinson during one
life-changing night of her musical act. Full
of TMI, towering go-go boots and cult hits
“Exquisite Corpse,” “Wig in a Box,” “Tear Me
Down” and more, this campy romp reveals
the blistering realities of self-acceptance that
defy gender identity.
OTHELLO
by William Shakespeare
JAN 9 – FEB 3, 2019
Backstabbing politicians, two-faced
frenemies, gaslighting, treachery, true love
and the never-ending cultural complications
of a “black ram tupping a white ewe,”
Shakespeare’s Othello might as well be
talking about this year’s headlines. And in
this production, it does. Othello features
Jobsite’s signature modern spin on a favorite
Shakespeare play.
