Gloria

Gloria

By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

This funny, trenchant, and powerful play follows an ambitious group of editorial assistants at a notorious Manhattan magazine, each of whom hopes for a starry life of letters and a book deal before they turn thirty. But when an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell their own story become higher than ever.

Note: this production features dark themes and includes depictions of gun violence and suicide.

*Join us after the show for moderated talkback with the cast and production team of Gloria on Sunday, April 13th! This is a unique opportunity to dive deeper into the creative process, ask questions, and hear behind-the-scenes insights about the making of the performance. We look forward to seeing you there!
