Photo Flash: MCCC Students Present Angels In America
The Theatre Program at Mercer County Community College continues to raise the bar for the performing arts with the student production of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, "Angels in America, Part I: Millennium Approaches." Performance dates and show times are: Fridays, April 17 and 24 at 8 p.m., Saturdays, April 18 and 25 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 26 at 2 p.m. All performances take place at Kelsey Theatre on Mercer's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Heralded by audiences and critics, "Angels in America, Part I" is recognized as a contemporary theatrical masterpiece. Set in New York City in the mid-1980s amidst the devastating outbreak of AIDS, the play charts an epic journey through the interconnected lives of a vivid cast of characters as they stumble from human failing toward the possibility of redemption. Observes Director Jody P. Person, coordinator of the MCCC Theatre and Dance Programs, "Angels is both a deeply personal and universal statement on illness, fear, change, and the ever-present need for hope."
Cast members include: Kelsey Baker of New Egypt, Sasha Giboyeaux of Bayonne, John Grewen of Pennington, Alex Hernandez of Hamilton, Ben Knight of West Windsor, Kimberly Konczos of Hamilton, Sarah Lightman of Hightstown, Patrick Martin of Hamilton, Solomon Mason of Ewing, Keegan McDonald of Princeton, George Miller of Trenton, Jessica Noll of Lawrenceville, Abena Ofori-Atta of Princeton, Ricardo Rodriguez of Trenton, Justin Schilling of West Windsor, Tommy Searl IV of Hamilton and Jessica Stanley of Princeton. Mercer's Entertainment Technology students will assist with lighting and sound.
Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for students. (The show contains adult themes and language and is not recommended for children.) Tickets may be purchased online at www.kelseytheatre.net, in person at the Kelsey Theatre box office, or by phone at 609-570-3333. Free parking is available next to the theatre.
