The Palomar Performing Arts Department will present the second part of the controversial "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes" by Tony Kushner Nov. 13-22.
In part one, which Palomar presented in the spring, the main character, a gay man named Prior Walter, contracts AIDS.

He then experiences a sequence of heavenly visions and miracles that culminate in a visit by an angel charging him with a holy crusade to stop humanity from progressing.

In part two, Prior refuses to accept his new role as prophet of the new millennium, resulting in all hell breaking loose.

The play will show Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. and Thursday at 4 p.m at the Howard Brubeck Theatre.

Tickets are $8 for students, $10 for seniors and staff and $12 for general admission.
For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit the theater's Web site or call the box office at (760)744.1150, ext. 2453.
