Hamilton’s Theatre Department presented Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches as its spring 2024 mainstage production. 

The Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning drama written by Tony Kushner explores American politics, gay identity, and mythology, and a personal story of love and loyalty. Hamilton’s production was directed by Professor of Theatre Mark Cryer and featured a cast of 22 students.

“What every mainstage has taught me is about connection and the power of being able to do something in a large group of people when everyone is passionate about it.” — Summer Meade ’24

“What every mainstage has taught me is about connection and the power of being able to do something in a large group of people when everyone is passionate about it. There’s vulnerability in coming together and doing something that might scare you a little bit, but when you’re doing something that you really love and care about, there’s nothing more that you’d rather be doing.”

as Roy Cohn, a famous and powerful New York City lawyer

“I learned that I love performing. Being out onstage, getting those butterflies beforehand … it’s something that I really live for and yearn for. Making someone feel something or helping someone sway any sort of emotion — it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone, you know? At least, for free. That’s what I really love about theatre. Going out there and seeing everyone’s smiles — or horrified faces whenever I do something crazy — I live for that stuff. You make a difference in their day, and for some people, you make a difference in their life.”
