Pulitzer Prize Winner
A radical and mythic portrait of collapse, revelation, and endurance. The Pulitzer and Tony Award–winning epic returns to Houston for the first time in more than 30 years.
Set in New York during the 1980s—the Reagan era—this sweeping drama weaves together stories of love, loss, and identity in the face of crisis. Louis abandons his terminally ill partner, Prior. Joe and Harper Pitt’s marriage unravels. The ruthless lawyer Roy Cohn faces the reality that neither wealth nor influence can protect him from death.
In Part One: Millennium Approaches, illness, politics, and fear fracture relationships and faith. In Part Two: Perestroika, the world cracks open, and new bonds emerge as the characters strive toward healing, forgiveness, and change.
Presented in two parts—alternating evenings in repertory—Angels in America is directed by Rec Room Artistic Director Matt Hune and Associate Artistic Director Sophia Watt (Heroes of the Fourth Turning).
Synopsis adapted from Rec Room Arts’ website.

"A Long Night” is the story of a family harboring relationship-ending secrets and other truths they've hidden from each other. But when unexpected visitors arrive on Christmas Eve, the façade begins to crack… and what spills out is anything but festive.
This gripping psychological horror play explores the terrifying cost of silence, the wrenching consequences of greed, and the perverse danger of trust. Twisted, intense, and darkly compelling, "A Long Night" is not your usual feel-good Christmas play—it’s a chilling story that will stay with you long after the lights go down.
