Angels In America, Part One: Millennium Approaches

Performances: Mar 24 - Apr 23, various hours

Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning drama Angels in America is one of the great epic American plays of this past century. We meet Louis and Prior and Harper and Joe, two couples whose relationships are on the rocks; the former because of Prior’s AIDS diagnosis and Louis’ inability to cope with illness, and the latter because of Joe’s closeted homosexuality and Harper’s incessant fears and hallucinations. The brilliant Hungarian director and filmmaker János Szász will stage Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches in the round 30 years after its Broadway premiere.

An all-star lineup of predominantly LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists will appear in a virtual reading presentation of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. The event will take place May 8 as a benefit for ONE Archives Foundation and Invisible Histories Project, which both honor the legacies of HIV/AIDS activists through education and outreach resources.

The cast will include Tony nominee Jeremy Pope (Ain’t Too Proud), Laverne Cox (Promising Young Woman), Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us), Jake Borelli (Grey’s Anatomy), Vincent Rodriguez III (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Guillermo Díaz (Scandal), Ryan O’Connell (Special), Daniel Newman (The Walking Dead), Jay Hayden (Station 19), and Danielle Savre (Station 19).

Station 19 EP Paris Barclay, a longtime TV director who’s helmed episodes of Scandal, Smash, and more, will direct the presentation, which will also include a special introduction by Martin Sheen.

The play, in large part autobiographical, chronicles a man's slow response to the AIDS epidemic as he struggles to create support for himself and his illness. After premiering Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in 1985, the play returned to the venue in 2004 before making its official Broadway debut in 2011. A film adaptation premiered on HBO in 2014.

Kramer woke many to the very real thread of AIDS through his fierce activism, often at the expense of his relationship with those in the queer community. He died at the age of 84 last May.
