The play's "scope is huge, covering the AIDS epidemic, America’s shift to the political right, as well as grand themes of faith, loss, and identity," The Chatham Players said in a a news release. "But at the same time it is heartbreakingly intimate, with indelible characters—gay and straight, black and white, Mormon and Jewish."

The cast includes Richard Colonna from Garwood as Roy Cohn, Scott Tyler from Morristown as Joe Pitt, Morgan Vasquez from Parsippany as Harper Pitt, Gus Ibranyi from Bloomfield as Prior Walter, Sal Navarro from West New York as Louis Ironson, Doug McLaughlin from Hillsborough as Belize, Rosemary Wall from Mountain Lakes as Hannah Pitt, Sarah Pharaon from Maplewood as The Angel, John Saul from Secaucus and Chip Prestera from Stirling as Ensemble.

Producer is Andrea Sickler, stage manager is Allie Warshaw, scenic designer is Chris Furlong, scenic painting by Andrea and Dean Sickler, costume designer is Bev Wand, lighting designer is Richard Hennessy and sound designer is Joe DeVico, production coordinator is Leslie Reagoso.

“This is a must see production for theater enthusiasts; the scenic elements, lighting, sound effects and costuming are all that we come to expect from this award winning NJ theater,” producer Andrea Sickler said.
