SYNOPSIS

Sex, religion, and politics collide with history in Tony Kushner’s sweeping epic, one of the landmark theatrical events of the twentieth century. Set at the onset of the AIDS epidemic, these masterworks changed the theatrical landscape forever when they premiered on Broadway twenty- five years ago. And now, they finally land on the Actor’s Express stage in one of the most ambitious productions we’ve ever taken on.
