In 1995, Salt Lake Acting Company was one of the first regional theaters to produce Tony Kushner's seminal play "Angels in America." SLAC'sKevenMyhre says it's a work that helped define the company, so it made sense to make it part of the 40th anniversary season. But "Angels" also opens in New York this week, where seats are already sold-out and the run has been extended. Thursday, Tony Kushner and others join us to talk about the epic work and its place in the American canon.
