![]() Roxy Regional Theatre Executive Director Ryan Bowie plays Prior Walter, a 30-year-old New Yorker whose lover Louis, played by Calvin Malone, abandons him when he falls ill with AIDS. In the first part of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning epic masterpiece, New Yorkers grapple with the harsh reality of the HIV/AIDS epidemic during the conservative Reagan administration of the 1980s. (Out of an abundance of caution due to the impending winter storm forecast for the evening of Friday, March 11, the original opening of this production was postponed.) In keeping with the theatre’s pay-what-you-can opening night tradition, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 6:30pm that evening for a $5 minimum donation. Nearly three decades after its Broadway premiere, the drama hailed by Newsweek as “the most ambitious American play of our time” is coming to Clarksville’s oldest professional theatre.ĪNGELS IN AMERICA, Part One: Millennium Approaches, opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Thursday, March 17, at 7:00pm. ![]()
