*ENSEMBLE THEATRE CONCLUDES ITS 2017-2018 MAINSTAGE SEASON* *-WE THE PEOPLE-* with: *ANGELS IN AMERICA: PERESTROIKA* By *TONY KUSHNER* Directed by *CELESTE COSENTINO*. In the second part of Tony Kushner's epic, set in 1980's New York City, a gay man is abandoned by his lover when he contracts the AIDS virus, and a closeted Mormon lawyer's marriage to his pill-popping wife stalls. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. *“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.” * -Newsday *“Angels in America is a monumental achievement, the work of a defiantly theatrical imagination that has no parallel on television or in the movies.” * -Variety *“Cosentino has put together a talented cast and crew to generate a very memorable production of a truly monumental play (Millennium). Bring on Part Two!” * -Cleveland Jewish News *"This is a MUST-SEE" * -Cool Cleveland It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see the conclusion of one of the greatest American plays ever written. Much like Ensemble’s recent productions of Eugene O’Neill’s *The Iceman Cometh*, and Jez Butterworth’s *Jerusalem*, Ensemble continues its stature as Cleveland’s home for daring and ambitious theatrical productions. *ANGELS IN AMERICA: PERESTROIKA* *April 27th–May 20th* Fridays & Saturdays *@7pm.* Sundays *@2pm. * With a great CAST of CLEVELAND ACTORS: *Derdriu Ring** as Hannah *Jeffrey Grover* *as Roy Cohn *Scott Esposito* as Prior Walter *James Rankin* as Joseph Pitt *Kelly Strand* as Harper Pitt *Craig Joseph* as Louis *Inés Joris *as Angel *Davion T.
