On the Cripe Stage…
Style. Status. Success. A group of twentysomething editorial assistants are pursuing it all at one of New York’s most esteemed cultural magazines. When a seemingly normal day at the office turns out to be anything but, these aspiring journalists recognize an opportunity to seize a career-defining moment. Who has the right to tell whose story? Simultaneously funny and shocking, Gloria is an adrenaline rush of a show as MacArthur “Genius” grant winner Jacobs-Jenkins skewers the cutthroat, opportunistic culture of modern media.
Please be aware: “Gloria” includes violence, intense themes, scenes, events, and sudden loud noises that may be unsettling to some viewers. Click here for more details.

Great acting, sets, and show! really enjoyed it!
Great writing; staging; exploration of interesting ideas around loneliness, writing, depression, guns, the damage done by being too self involved.. Great gem of a theater. Grateful for it being conveniently located; affordable; producing interesting plays. We have been theater goers for over 50 years in LA and OC. Your productions seem to be getting better and better.
It was interesting, education, and entertaining
A near-Pulitzer with superb, superb acting. What more can you ask for?
