A Pulitzer Prize-winning landmark of American theater is coming to NECC this spring, bringing with it a powerful and deeply human story that remains just as relevant today as when it first premiered.

From April 30 through May 3 NECC theater will present Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches. Set during the height of the 1980s AIDS crisis, the play follows the intersecting lives of six individuals as they navigate love, loss, sexuality, and religious faith under the conservative political climate of the Reagan administration. Through its complex characters and emotional depth, the production examines themes of identity, community, and resilience in the face of uncertainty and fear.

Widely regarded as one of the most important works of modern American theater, Angels in America blends realism with moments of fantasy to tell a story that is both intimate and expansive. Its exploration of personal and political struggles offers audiences a thought-provoking and emotionally impactful experience.

Performances will take place on April 30 at 4 p.m., May 1 and 2 at 7 p.m., and will conclude with a final matinee on May 3 at 2 p.m. 

Due to mature themes and adult content, the production is recommended for audiences 18 and older. Reserve your tickets today.  NECC Theater is a 14x National Award-Winning Theater program run by Associate Professor, Brianne Beatrice at Northern Essex Community College.
