Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner (2006) June 27, 2012

In collaboration with The Wilma Theater's production of 'Angels in America,' the Museum presents 'Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner,' a feature documentary film about Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright Tony Kushner. It tells the story about the evolution of an artist, and of how Kushner, raised in the Deep South in Lake Charles, Louisiana, would become an outspoken activist, a compassionate spokesperson for outsiders, and one of today's most entertaining and important playwrights. A discussion follows with Dr. Laura Levitt, Professor of Religion, Jewish Studies, and Gender Studies, Temple University and Prof. Allen Kuharski, Stephen Lang Professor of the Performing Arts, Swarthmore College. Moderated by Walter Bilderback, Dramaturg and Literary Manager, The Wilma Theater.
