Based on Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Angels in America is a moving and astonishing tale of AIDS during the Reagan years. While it gives us a glimpse of the politics and social environment of the time, the raw humanity—at its best and worst—makes Angels a timeless work of art. Produced in conjunction with “More Life: The Art & Science of AIDS.”

story | Prior Walter is a young man whose life both falls apart and comes together in a profound way when he becomes ill with AIDS. His illness sets off a chain of events that impact everyone around him, each dealing with struggles of their own.

• Janice Hall (Governess from Turn of the Screw and Blanche from Dialogues of the Carmelites) returns to Fort Worth for this production.
