Join us for a book club-style Script Club (formerly Page to Stage) with the Portland Stage. Check out your copy of the script and join us two weeks before previews of each Mainstage Production. Scripts are available at the reference desk at the Downtown Library. This year Portland Stage celebrates its 51st season and we invite you to chat about the plays with Literary Manager Todd Brian Backus, his Directing and Dramaturgy Apprentices, and special guests.

One of America’s most important theatrical experiences, this is the Tony Award-winning conclusion to Tony Kushner’s gay fantasia on national themes. Written with a boldness rarely seen in theater, this play is transcendent. Angels in America Part 2: Perestroika takes us through layers of human experience, making us think and feel, showing us the truth in moments of fantasy. Told through the intertwined lives of six New Yorkers, this story packs a punch. Confronting politics, spirituality, and sexuality with sharp humor and a sage observational eye, this great American epic shows us how community and connection can be forged in even the darkest of times.
