More About
Kushner stands out with an ability to make audiences relate to the most disenfranchised members of our community. Angelsis the story of a gay man torn between his marriage to his wife, his affair with a man who has AIDS and his struggle to make sense of it all in an unforgiving and judgmental world. Kushner’s latest work, a musical, Caroline, or Change, is about a black maid accused of stealing from her white employer to feed her family. Hear him discuss his inspiration for these — and all his other award-winning works — in a lecture today followed by a Q&A with Alley Theatre Artistic Director Gregory Boyd. 7:30 p.m. Alley Theatre, 615 Texas. For tickets and information, call 713-521-2026 or visit www.alleytheatre.org. $20.
Mon., May 19, 7:30 p.m., 2008
