Tony Kushner's play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1993, represents progressive political activism. The full title of all of Kushner's Angels plays is A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. This play, set in 1985, is very critical of homophobia and discrimination against gays. The performance on Saturday in Murphy Hall's Crafton-Preyer Theatre revealed the far-reaching implications of decisions made in the voting booth. The character of Martin Heller, played by Kristen Bush, celebrates the "dawning of a genuinely American political personality, modeled on Ronald Wilson Reagan" and praises corrupt lawyer Roy Cohn as "a saint of the Right," while the play exposes hypocrisy and the hollowness of political rhetoric. Angels requires a versatile set of actors to play multiple roles. The University Theatre's entire cast is outstanding. The players work skillfully with an expert production crew and director Jack Wright, professor of theater and film. Angels also points out that economic prosperity in the 1980s was gained at the expense of people who suffered from oppression and discrimination. However, this play seems to be popular among theatergoers of all political leanings. Through the use of split scenes, the play emphasizes the way the seemingly dissimilar characters are interconnected. The character of famous power broker Roy Cohn, played by Ryan Colwell, Leawood junior, embodies the ironic contradictions of his era. The character, who has symptoms of AIDS, will not accept the diagnosis or the truth about his sexual orientation. Angels continues tonight through Sunday. No one should miss it. — Edited by Amy Randolph Crossword ACROSS 1 Night birds 1 Ice unit Trap 1 River to the Mississippi 1 Quarry 1 Doughnut centers 1 Lounge on a train 1 Book of maps 2 Beer mug 2 Color 2 Donna lead-in 2 Minus figure 2 Itty-bitty 2 Take to lake 2 Samovar 2 Praise 3 Chevron 3 Saran Wrap precursor 3 Brown shades 3 Excuse 4 Actress Sorvino 4 Union general 4 Roman autocoral 4 Colonial insects 4 Gum quantity 4 Cleaned one's plate 4 Newly 5 De Brunhoff's elephant 5 Shazam! 5 Jackie's second 5 Gaggle of honkers 5 Singing chipmunk 6 Matine idol 6 Roofing materia 6 Just got by 6 Country hotels 6 Novelist Anne 6 Aggrissin's son 6 Anti-Tweed cartoonist DOWN 1 Butterfingers' comment 2 Interrogative word 3 Cash in Pisa 4 Unbroken 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | | | | 15 | | | | 16 | | | | 17 | | | 18 | | | | 19 | | | | | 20 | | | | | 21 | | 22 | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 31 | | | 32 | | | 33 | | | | 34 35 36 37 | | | | 38 39 | | | 40 | | | | 41 | | | 42 | | | 43 44 | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 53 | | | | 54 | | 55 | | 56 57 58 59 | | | | 60 | 61 | | | | | 62 | | | | 63 | | 64 | | | | 65 | | | | 66 | | 67 | | | | $ \textcircled{2} $ 2000 Tribune Media Services, Inc.
