The Cast and Crew { page 1 |2 | 3 }
Roger Schultz - set, properties, & costume design
Roger can’t believe his fortune in being able to bring the glamourous/legendary
Hedwig and her glam punk entourage to the tacky stage of the historically
infamous Roxy Theatre. He is now officially the most recent MFA Theatre Design
graduate from the U of A having just completed his thesis production: a mid
- 50’s/Grecian/Las Vegas floor show version of LYSISTRATA. He has worked
for almost everybody in town, has had four Sterling nominations, a Dora Nomination
(in Toronto) and has won three Sterling awards. Favourite designs include:
THE LAKE OF THE HEART, SHOCKER’S DELIGHT, YOURS ANNE, THREE SISTERS,
DADS – THE MUSICAL! and THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE. Roger also works
frequently as an actor and has made a number of celebrity appearances in
his alter ego, wanna be lounge singer, Steele Sterling.
Stephen Trask - composer/lyricist
Stephen is the author of the music and lyrics for HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH as well as the original Music Director for the show. He was the original leader of the notorious Squeezebox house band. During his time there as Music Director he performed with Debbie Harry, Lene Lovitch, Hole, Green Day, Joey Ramone, as well as New York's most popular drag queens. For five years Stephen performed with his band, Cheater, who originated the role of “The Angry Inch” off-Broadway and performed on the original cast recording. From 1993-1998, Stephen danced with and accompanied The Corner Store Dance Company. He has scored numerous dance pieces and movies. During HEDWIG’s reign at the Jane Street Theatre, Stephen received an Obie Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding off Broadway Musical, a 1998 New York Magazine Award, Drama Desk nominations for Outstanding Music, Outstanding Lyrics, and Outstanding New Musical, a Grammy Nomination for Best Cast Album and two GLAMA Awards: Best Cast Album and Best Score for Film or Stage. He was the producer for the album for the rock band Nancy Boy, as well as the score and soundtrack album for the film version of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH.
Marek Tyler - Schlatko (drums)
Marek likes to drink coffee, watch Star Trek and play drums with his friends.
Touring with The New Meanies and Old Reliable has afforded him a growing
list of Canada's best 24 hour gas stations and breakfast joints. With upcoming
summer releases from Mr. Relaxer, AA Sound System, Andrea House and Mark
Davis (Old Reliable) and subsequent tours, 2003 will be a whole lotta fun.
Chris Wynters – musical director/ Skszp (guitar)
Three years ago Chris appeared on stage here at the Roxy in the Leave it
to Jane/ Lugan Theatre co-production of DIAMOND STUDS (THE LIFE OF JESSE
JAMES) along with all his real life bandmates, Captain Tractor. He’s
now thrilled to be part of the not quite so real life band THE ANGRY INCH.
It was fun to be Jesse James but what could be better than being an eastern
block punk rocker with no vowels in his name? Chris has just written a musical
version of Shakespeare’s THE WINTER’S TALE with Bridget Ryan
that is running at Grant MacEwan College. He’s looking forward to appearing
in GREASE at the Citadel in May then having his first child with his wife
Maria in June.
