A follow up to last year's amazing production of Angels in America, Part One: Millenium Approaches. Described as "A gay fantasia," it explores America in the late 1980s and early 90s: everything from the gay experience to the Mormon Church, Ronald Reagan and Roy Cohn to AIDS, Orgasms, and God.

Free Shakespeare for all the family in Lincoln's neighborhoods.

Following up the success our 2011 free theatre production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, we present Shakespeare's great mash-up of twins, clowns, pirates, and poseurs.
