Director

Strap into your corsets, hoist up your petticoats, and get down with the sexiest and most problematic arias ever shot out of the operatic canon. Heartbeat’s signature spectacle returns for its celebratory 10th edition, directed by none other than our co-founder and Drag Show legend, Ethan Heard. Let’s walk the tightrope of wokeness together, smear our faces with all the colors of the rainbow, and see what Bess gets up to when she meets her fellow opera queens in the dark alleys and dressing rooms of New York City.

ORGY & BESS: Deep Throats & High Notes

Judson Memorial Church

In Signature’s remarkably intimate ARK Theatre, this radical rock musical explodes with glam, grit, glitter and heart.

EPSG:4326

Hedwig & the Angry Inch

Signature Theatre

A Black activist is wrongfully incarcerated. His wife, Leah, disguises herself to infiltrate the system and free him. But when injustice reigns, one woman's grit may not be enough to save her love. Featuring the voices of imprisoned people, this daring adaptation pits corruption against courage, hate against hope.
