Opening the 2024 season on May 9, the Provincetown Theater in Provincetown is proud begin its 61st season with a 30th anniversary mounting of Tony Kushner’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Angels in America, Part I: Millennium Approaches. Directed by the company’s artistic director, David Drake, the cast of Angels in America includes Todd Flaherty, Sean Flyr, Karl Gregory, Danica Jensen, Devon Kendall-Jacobs, Joe MacDougall, Jeanine O’Rourke, Laura Scribner, Darlene Van Alstyne, and Nick Wilson.

Tony Kushner’s monumental “Gay Fantasia on National Themes,” Angels in America, is a wildly entertaining and emotionally riveting journey. Set during the AIDS crisis of Ronald Reagan’s 1980s, the play follows the interconnected lives of six New Yorkers grappling with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. (Written in two parts, this season the Provincetown Theater will present Part One: Millennium Approaches.)
“Thirty years after its Broadway debut,” says director David Drake, “I believe Angels in America offers audiences today a significant opportunity to look thru the lens of hindsight and not only see how we got to where we are, but how we move into the future.”
The Provincetown Theater production will feature scenic design by Ellen Rousseau, lighting design by Stephen Petrilli, and costume design by Thom Markee and Steven Carey. With stage management by Sami Parazin, Alston Brown serves as assistant director.
