Casting and creative team information has been announced for The Players Club of Swarthmore’s staged reading of Tony Kushner’s epic, Angels In America, January 2-4. Dave Ebersole will direct. Part I: Millennium Approaches will be presented January 2 at 8:00 pm, Part II: Perestroika will be presented January 3 at 8:00 pm, and both parts will be read January 4 at 2:00 pm with a pot-luck dinner between pieces.

Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize winning two-part drama is set in America in the 1980s against a backdrop of greed, conservatism, sexual politics, and the discovery of AIDS, where a menagerie of characters must cope with their own realities. The cast will feature Chris Cherkis, Lizzy Dalton-Negron, Rhonda Goldstein, J. Edward Murray, Steve Pollack, Mike Raimondo, Jay Ronca, and Jen Summerfield.

The creative team will include Mick Loro, who will provide a musical backdrop with original compositions, and Alan Stamford, who will provide the lighting design for the readings.
