Angels In America, Part One: Millennium Approaches

Jules Kyung ’24 directs a new production of Millennium Approaches, the Pulitzer-winning first part of Tony Kushner’s explosive 1993 drama, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. In a New York City of the late 80s deep within the AIDS crisis, couples break up, people get sick, lobbyists build shaky towers of lies, and every now and then, a prophet sees an angel. Kushner’s expansive, ecstatic script offers a window into queer history, and this production opens a conversation between the generations that came before and the queer young people of today.

The runtime will be 3 hours, including two intermissions. Please be advised that the show contains depictions of disease, sex, violence, drinking, smoking, homophobia, and racism, and is not recommended for young children.
