Strangers & Other Angels

Videos
Strangers and Other Angels re-imagines the medieval mystery play for the 21st century. Taking the performance to its audience in the street, using the city as stage. It is community theater in the deepest sense - a celebration of the joy of the human presence and response.
Whether in New York, or STRANIERI E ALTRI ANGELI in Orvieto, the production involves a vast array of performers: opera singers, actors, step-dancing and tap-dancing angels, instrumentalists including steel drummers, accordionists, trombonists, guitarists, and designers interested in on-location participation.
