Set in the early 1980s, The Normal Heart is a searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man's lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis. Originally produced off Broadway in 1985, the play was revived on Broadway in 2011 to great acclaim and winning three Tony Awards. The Normal Heart follows the story of Ned Weeks, a gay activist desperately trying to save the world from itself when suddenly he is forced to confront the personal toll of the AIDS epidemic.

"...Fueled by love, anger, hope and pride, Larry Kramer's masterpiece THE NORMAL HEART centers on a circle of friends struggling to understand and contain a mysterious disease ravaging New York's gay community and one man's fight to awaken the world to the urgency of the situation. The guest production at the Chromolume Theater is magnificently directed by Marilyn McIntye on the small stage, a large part of which is due to the 5 moveable set pieces designed by David Mauer which are moved about to create all the different rooms so necessary for the production. Set changes are inspirational to watch, choreographed like a ballet down to the slightest detail."

"...This show is a motivating force with a strong and relevant message. The cast and crew are both moving and inspiring, they will make you laugh, cry and everything in between. "The Normal Heart" is a must-see; so, go in with an open heart and let the performance awaken you to the problems of the past and present and especially to what we can all do to make a positive change in this world."

"...Director Marilyn McIntyre has mounted a production in which the performances are all excellent, and the direction of the individual scenes is sensitive and sharp, but the production scheme is awkward and time consuming. The use of rolling screens to frame the action is potentially effective, but an over-literal design approach keeps the actors busy moving furniture and props at the expense of speed and continuity."
