INTERVIEW
Tonight, April 4, it the opening of the play “Angels In America,” by Southside Theater Company at Dog Story Theater – a play rarely performed in West Michigan. The Pulitzer Prize winning play by Tony Kushner is set in 1985 around the height of the AIDS epidemic in New York City. Jordon Carnegie, producer for the play and board member for Southside Theatre Company, comes in studio to talk about the multiple issues the play takes on, including discrimination, Reagan-era politics and relationships.
Carnegie also co-directs the show along with Southside’s artistic director Andrew Williams.
Jon Clausen, one of the performers in the production is also in studio, and sums up the focus of “Angels In America” as being about the human condition.
