ANGELS IN AMERICA, by Tony Kushner

Invictus Theatre Company presents Tony Kushner's monumental ANGELS IN AMERICA, with a single cast performing both parts of the play in repertory.

ANGELS IN AMERICA skillfully weaves realistic scenes with fantasy and magical realism to examine the social, sexual, and religious issues facing the country as the AIDS crisis gains momentum in the 1980s. Some of the characters are fictional, others are historical figures, some are ghosts, and some are angels. PART ONE: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES and PART TWO: PERESTROIKA each won, in different years, the Tony Award for Best Play. Additionally, MILLENNIUM APPROACHES won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

The performance schedule will allow audiences the option to see the two parts in sequence on the same day, or on successive days.
