Machiavellian Ambition and Exploitation

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. At its core, GLORIA investigates the aftershocks of ambition and how it damages the human psyche and relationships.


Tickets are free and available to reserve online beginning at 12pm the day before each performance.
