About our Show: 

  June 5th. Glendale City Chapel. Seven strangers don't understand why, but are drawn to attend a new support group meeting for abandonment. As our Moderator begins the session, these strangers reluctantly sit in silence--not  wanting to share their mess, their pain, and their anguish. As a means to open them up to their truth, she passes out Tony Kushner's Angels in America, and assigns these strangers roles from the play and they begin to read it out loud.  

Angels in America is a sweeping, deeply human epic set during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, where love, abandonment, politics, and spirituality collide. It follows a group of interconnected people grappling with illness, identity, and betrayal, as reality crashes into hallucination and divine intervention—ultimately asking how we endure in the face of loss and change.

As stories spill out from these strangers, the lines between participant and character begin to fracture. Without warning, the play erupts from within them. Scenes emerge, overlap, and collapse back into the group, as if the act of surviving has conjured the play itself.

This is Angels in America as a  living testimony of their lives. A room full of people searching for connection becomes the stage where fantastical, memory, and reality collide, asking one urgent question: how do we keep going when everything is breaking?
