Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches

Angels in America – Part One: Millennium Approaches is the first half of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play that explores the intersecting lives of several New Yorkers in the mid-1980s, during the height of the AIDS crisis and amidst the social and political tensions of the Reagan era. It follows the intersecting lives of six main characters—including a gay man with AIDS abandoned by his partner, a closeted Mormon lawyer, and a ruthless powerbroker—culminating when an angel crashes through a ceiling to declare a prophet. The play intertwines politics, religion, sexuality, and identity in a deeply human and often surreal narrative. Angels in America Part One and Two , directed by Bruce Roach, will return to Rarig Center’s Stoll Thrust Theatre as the BFA Acting Program Class of 2027’s final presentation from April 23- May 2, 2027. Join us as this talented company takes on one of contemporary theatre’s most demanding works. Stay tuned for ticket information and performance schedules as the dates approach!
