Nearly 1,000 attendees took part on the Guthrie Theater’s Kick Off to Kushner, a community wide event, which featured 70 singers from the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus premiering “I Want More Life,” a new choral commission with text from Kushner’s Angles in America and music by Michael Shaieb.
In addition, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak presented a proclamation declaring April 18 “Tony Kushner Day” in Minneapolis.
Caroline, or Change, the first of the three productions in the Kushner Celebration, continues through June 21 on the Wurtele Thrust Stage under the direction of Marcela Lorca.
