Midwest test for Kushner's best
by Gordon Cox, Variety
The Tony Kushner Celebration at Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater reps a supersized endeavor in a nonprofit legit landscape disposed to downsizing.
Among the three full productions of plays by Kushner -- the "Angels in America" scribe whose work is not exactly known for its modesty of scope or running time -- is the world preem of his latest, "The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism With a Key to the Scriptures," which began perfs May 15. Also on the roster is an evening of short works, "Tiny Kushner," which began May 16.
Along with a staging of Kushner and Jeanine Tesori's 2003 tuner "Caroline, or Change," which opened April 24, there's a crowded slate of Kushner-centric seminars, workshops and talks.
