A moving new musical about embracing who you are and the life-saving power of art by one of contemporary musical theater’s most exciting voices Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days, Cake Off).

In 1996, a closeted high school math teacher agrees to mentor a student for a theater competition. Both outsiders in their small-town community, their exploration of Angels in America unsettles the town’s delicate balance, and the vise of intolerance begins to tighten, twisting their lives in unexpected ways.  

This deeply human tale, with an expressive score, is a rallying cry for authenticity and a touching tribute to all the teachers whose selfless courage uplifts and changes us all.

“An important story to tell at a time when it’s easy to feel small and powerless in the face of world historical events. But more importantly, it is a love ballad to the theater, which for so many of us really has been life-changing.” - TheaterMania

A Musical by Adam Gwon
Music Directed by Marika Countouris
Directed by Matthew Gardiner
