<P><FONT color=#000000 size=3>Homemade Theater is looking for an actor to fill the role of Roy Cohn in their staged reading of Angels in America Part Two - Perestroika. The commitment is very small. There will be one rehearsal on April 9th and the staged reading on April 10th. This is a great chance to work with a great cast and a chance to be a part of a show that is rarely done.</FONT></P><B>

<P><FONT color=#000000 size=3>Angels in America</FONT></I><FONT color=#000000 size=3> is an "epic" drama, which means its plot unfolds over great distances of time and place, involves many characters, and more than one story line. Two complete plays form the entire plot: the first part, <I>Millennium Approaches</I> and its second installment, <I>Perestroika</I>. Together, they present more than thirty characters in eight acts, fifty-nine scenes, and an epilogue.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000 size=3>Kushner subtitled his play ''A Gay Fantasia on National Themes.’’ Like a "fantasia," which is a medley of familiar tunes with variations and interludes, the play's scenes often seem musical, like operatic arias, playful duets, or powerful trios. Characters move in and out of conversations with each other, sometimes even overlapping other vignettes, which occur onstage at the same time, and the settings change rapidly from offices to bedrooms, from hospital wards to the imaginary South Pole.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000000 size=3>For all its intricacies, however, the plot of the play is quite simple. It is the story of two couples whose relationships are disintegrating, set in America in the 1980s against a backdrop of greed, conservatism, sexual politics, and the discovery of an awful new disease: AIDS. It is this backdrop that provides <I>Angels in America</I> its magnitude and sets it apart from other love stories. In this play, the plot is largely driven by its themes, which are viewed from different characters' perspectives, as through a kaleidoscope, as the story unfolds.</FONT></P>
