Slate gathered a group of actors, directors, playwrights and critics to discuss the origins of Angels in America. The group includes Tony Kushner (class of 1984), Stephen Spinella (class of 1982), and Oskar Eustis (faculty). Kushner began writing the play as he was studying directing with us.
"Angels in America was the work of a young graduate of the NYU directing program who had gravitated toward writing in the final year of his studies—and a politically progressive San Francisco theater company looking for a play about the epidemic sweeping its community." - Slate.com; By Isaac Butler and Dan Kois
