ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART I: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES
A riveting illumination of America lost to the destructive terror of AIDS, the collapse of morality during the Reagan years, and the disintegration of tolerance. Relationships dissolve, fantasy is made flesh, and a man is made a prophet in this exploration of politics, religion, and sex that is as poignant today as ever. Adult Content (Language, nudity, strong political themes), not recommended for individuals under 18.

Are There Angels in America?
Are there Angels in America? Absurd Reality Theatre presents a forum to discuss issues raised by Angels in America: Millennium Approaches
Seattle, WA – In anticipation of their revival of Angels in America:
Millennium Approaches (July 24th-August 9th) Absurd Reality Theatre will be presenting a forum titled: “Are There Angels in America?” to address the place of the gay community and those living with AIDS in contemporary American spirituality. *The forum will be held at the Capitol Hill Library on July 10th, from 5:30-7:30.
*Speakers will include local religious leaders, authors and bloggers, and activists in the gay community. Refreshments will be served.
Tony Kushner's Angels in America stands as a piece of art that challenges our nation to interact and discuss homosexuality as it relates to faith, religion in America, and the AIDS epidemic. The forum will emphasize the struggles of men and women living with AIDS in our community, along with those just beginning to understand their own spiritual and sexual identities.
Absurd Reality Theatre’s commitment to fostering discussion and community will continue through the run of Angels in America with events such as post-show talkbacks, Singles Night (August 8th), and performances by local musicians. In addition, the night of August 1st will be a benefit to raise money for the BABES Network.
Absurd Reality is a Program of The Shunpike
