Extended through May 28!
The mid-1980s. America. A modern masterpiece, Angels in America, careens from New York City to Heaven and back in the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration. A brilliant and poignant exploration of human connection, this epic tale will be brought to vivid life through Bedlam Artistic Director Eric Tucker’s signature, pared-down approach. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Angels in America is still fiercely hopeful today.
Please note:
Angels in America includes explicit sexual situations, nudity and adult language.
Production Effect: There is a strobe light effect in the production.
Early showtimes: Wednesday and Thursday evenings will begin at 7pm. Friday and Saturday evenings will begin at 7:30pm. Saturday matinees will begin at 1pm and Sunday matinees will begin at 2pm.

“A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty. ”— John Lahr, New Yorker
“An enormously impressive work of the imagination and intellect, a towering example of what theater stretched to its full potential can achieve.”— Philadelphia Inquirer
