'Gloria' Original Cast Benefit Reading
From the writer of such acclaimed plays as "Everybody," "An Octoroon," "Appropriate" and "War and Neighbors," "Gloria" (a finalist for the 2016 Drama Prize) is Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins’ funny, trenchant and powerful play that 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 30. But when an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell their own story become higher than ever.
"Gloria" contains disturbing content which may not be suitable for patrons under 17; viewer discretion is advised.
A MacArthur Grant winner and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins received The Vineyard’s distinguished Paula Vogel Playwriting Award for emerging writers in 2011.
Tickets to this benefit reading are fully tax-deductible and support the artists and programs in The Vineyard's 2020-2021 season. A portion of the proceeds from Gloria will support The Dramatists Guild Foundation.
We thank Susan Peterson Kennedy for her support of "Gloria" as a member of our Artistic Directors' Circle.
