The Ritz Theatre Company presents "Angels In America, Part 2: Perestroika"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 05/13/2025

(HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- The Ritz Theatre Company presents Angels In America, Part 2: Perestroika as a Black Box Production weekends from June 6-22, 2025. The play by Tony Kushner won the 1994 Tony Award for Best Play. In the second part of Kushner's epic, the plague of AIDS worsens, relationships fall apart as new relationships form, and unexpected friendships take flight.

Perestroika is not only a stunning resolution of the rending human drama of Millennium Approaches, but also a true millennial work of art, uplifting, hugely comic and pantheistically religious in a very American style.” —Frank Rich, New York Times

“Playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty and compassionate, furious and incredibly smart … It’s impossible to imagine anyone captivated by the beginning not wanting—needing—to go back for the end.” —Linda Winer, Newsday

The Ritz production is directed by Matthew Weil.

Performances take place Friday, June 6 at 8:00pm; Saturday, June 7 at 8:00pm; Sunday, June 8 at 2:00pm; Friday, June 13 at 8:00pm; Saturday, June 14 at 2:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, June 15 at 2:00pm; Wednesday, June 18 at 7:30pm; Friday, June 20 at 8:00pm; Saturday, June 21 at 8:00pm; and Sunday, June 22 at 2:00pm.
