Raven Performing Arts Theater presents Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches

Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 1993 Tony Award for Best Play. Set in 1980s New York City, a gay man is abandoned by his lover when he contracts the AIDS virus, while a closeted Mormon lawyer’s marriage to his pill-popping wife stalls. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Widely described as one of the greatest plays of the 20^th century, Angels in America is a complex, dynamic, sometimes surrealistic examination of the AIDS crisis and homosexuality in the United States, while touching on universal issues including change, loss, identity, and the challenges of finding community in an increasingly fractured society.

Presented in the round, our production of Angels in America places the audience onstage, creating an immersive and deeply intimate theatrical experience unlike anything else in Sonoma County. Because seating surrounds the stage on three sides, ticket availability is extremely limited, and performances are already filling quickly. We fully expect this production to sell out before the end of the run; reserve your seats now while tickets are still available!

Content Warning: Please be advised that this production contains simulated sex, graphic depictions of illness, staged violence, and is intended for mature (17+) audiences only. Photo gallery above courtesy Dennis Whitaker.
