Madison Lyric Stage brings to the Shoreline the herculean work in two parts Angels in America by Tony Kushner. This season we present Part I: Millennium Approaches.  Subtitled A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning play is a complex, often metaphorical and at times symbolic, examination of AIDS and homosexuality in America in the 1980s.

The two parts of the play, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, are often presented over two nights, but may be presented separately. In 2003, HBO adapted Angels in America into a six-episode miniseries, using the same title.

Starting off our 2023 Grassy Strip Music Series for this summer is David Clark’s “ALL ABOUT JOEL”, a musical tribute conceived and presented by Long Island veteran singer/piano player David Clark.

David continues to gain attention and popularity across the country with stunningly accurate piano playing, lead vocals, and an eerily similar stage look to the Piano Man himself while engaging the audience with wit and humor.  Having been a part of the Long Island & NY area music scene since 1985, he has carved out a solid reputation as a piano player, singer, and performer at countless private events and concerts around the northeastern tri-state area and beyond.

The Grassy Summer Concert Series are FREE and open to the public, so grab your favorite beach chair and/or blanket and get ready for a summer season with some amazing performers!

A BIG thank you and shout out to our sponsors, Scott, Tiffany, and Matthew Duques.
