Rehearsals are underway for the return of 'Julian and Romero' (which first premiered in 2013 at Theatre for the New City).  During the heated Cuban revolution of the 1960's, two young men find friendship in a UMAP Prison Camp.  Tough choices are challenged by sex, faith and culture.  Dreams and nightmares come alive in a play with music, dance and passion.

Critics and audiences greeted Tony Kushner's ANGELS IN AMERICA with superlatives when this Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning play first opened nearly twenty five years ago. The AIDS epidemic and the age of Ronald Reagan provide the framework for this compelling story of people and society responding to the forces of change. Within the political and social upheaval of the era, the play presents an astounding view of relationships under extreme stress and the triumph of the human spirit. Foothill Theatre Arts will present ANGELS IN AMERICA, directed by Bruce McLeod, for three weeks only, May 29 through June 14, at the Lohman Theatre, on the Foothill College campus (at the bottom of the hill), 12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills.
