Welcome from the Dean In the early 1990s, Tony Kushner’s two-part play Angels in America transformed American theatre. Gorgeously theatrical but also unflinching in its depiction of the AIDS crisis, Angels gifted us with an opportunity to consider some of the most pressing issues facing our society. A work of fiction with real-world resonance, Angels invites us to bear witness to the experience of our neighbor. It prompts us to become engaged citizens: work to eradicate intolerance and prejudice, be a force for good in the lives of others, and, of course, vote. Tony Kushner’s masterpiece is the perfect production to launch the inaugural season of Boston University Joan and Edgar Booth Theatre. The lessons of Angels are as important today as they were twenty-five years ago. Within BU College of Fine Arts, we embrace the power of theatre, music, and the visual arts to create community. We are steadfast in our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We believe in the transformational potential of the arts.

Harvey Young Dean, College of Fine Arts

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTORS “There is no one watching over us. We have to watch over ourselves. What a beautiful, heady responsibility.” - Adam Green, Vogue

Halfway through a late night of too much coffee and too many papers to grade, the two of us began discussing our favorite plays. It was then that we discovered our mutual love for Angels in America. To share a play on each of our lists was somewhat surprising to us as, though we are close friends and admire each other’s work greatly, we aesthetically approach our work from inherently different places. Throughout this process, it has become increasingly apparent as to why Angels speaks to both of us, and so many. Angels defies genre, and encapsulates what we both find necessary to preserve the human spirit. In this climate of uncertainty and fear, we find ourselves in circumstances both foreign and familiar. Angels brings to light how much work there is left to be done in establishing humanity for all. Can we be vulnerable enough as a country, as a people, to reach across our respective aisles, or turn to the person next to us, and together find resilience and commonality? As Kushner himself states: “the great work begins.” - Jillian Robertson and Jeremy Ohringer

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre The School of Theatre at the College of Fine Arts at Boston University is a leading conservatory for the study of acting, stage management, design, production, and all aspects of the theatre profession. These programs of study are enriched by the School’s access to the greater liberal arts programs at Boston University. The School of Theatre values the notion of “the new conservatory” and seeks to provide students with opportunities for artistic growth through a rigorous curriculum, professional connections, and an emphasis on collaboration and new work.

Boston University Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre Opened in December 2017, this bold, state-of-the-art structure encourages innovation, conversation, and collaboration. The flexible design of Booth Theatre allows for the inventive evolution of performances and a deep engagement with audiences. Research is at the core of Boston University, and the College of Fine Arts practices it every day in the form of creative experimentation. Booth Theatre and the adjacent CFA Production Center are laboratories for such research, and in every detail, they are purpose-built for discovery. The Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre is funded in part by a $10 million gift from BU Trustee Stephen M. Zide (LAW’86), who named the venue in honor of his wife’s parents for sharing their passion for the dramatic arts with him and his family. Learn more at bu.edu/booth .
