Santa Monica College Theatre Arts to Stage "Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches"

The Santa Monica College (SMC) Theatre Arts Department will perform "Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches" Sept. 27 - Oct. 6 in the Theatre Arts Main Stage on the SMC Main Campus, 1900 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica.

"Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches" tells the story of two troubled couples - one gay, one straight - facing different challenges as the AIDS crisis explodes in the 1980s. The play, spiced with a bit of fantasia, looks at the social, sexual, and religious implications of the deadly illness.

The renowned play was written by Tony Kushner, who received both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for the popular work, which was also adapted for television and won an Emmy Award.

The SMC production is directed by Dr. Adrianne Harrop.
