Shreveport’s own Zhailon Levingston will be opening his third major production in NYC as director (and his second on Broadway) with Cats: The Jellicle Ball this spring, but first he will be leading an all-star cast of Stage Center favorites in Larry Kramer’s masterwork, The Normal Heart, starring Artistic Director Jared Watson!
A searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man’s lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis, Larry Kramer’s landmark play about love and loss chronicles the rise of the AIDS crisis in New York City. Based on the playwright’s own experiences founding the Gay Men’s Health Crisis in the 1980s, The Normal Heart follows Ned Weeks, a reluctant leader but furious activist, as he battles against a world unwilling to confront the epidemic. As relevant and powerful as ever, this Tony Award-winning drama is a strong indictment against ignorance and a heartfelt story of love and compassion. -
