Rogue Theatre's 'Angels in America' finds power in the space between page and stage * Oregon ArtsWatch
""For Rogue Theater Company, staged readings are not a lesser form, they're a different kind of invitation. They stand alongside our fully staged productions as a way to widen the conversation.""
""There are certain exceptional plays that would be prohibitive to produce in our small space, and those become candidates for staged readings. Angels in America is a perfect example-a play that offers something deeply compelling for our actors and feels urgent to share.""
""Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning two-part play is set in 1980s New York City, exploring the AIDS crisis and other broad social issues.""
Rogue Theater Company will present a staged reading of Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches, emphasizing that staged readings are a different artistic invitation. Jessica Sage, the founder, believes these readings widen the conversation and allow for plays that may be too large for their venue. The play, set in 1980s New York City, addresses the AIDS crisis and social issues through characters like Prior Walter and Joe Pitt. The reading will feature multiple actors in various roles, showcasing the urgency and relevance of the work.
