Gloria by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins follows the young, beleaguered employees of a Manhattan publishing company as the world collapses around them.
A 2016 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Gloria is a tragicomedy about American workplace culture and the lengths we will go to to individualize ourselves and our experiences over others. Gloria is wicked, witty, whip-smart, uproarious, and utterly shocking.
“Gloria made me laugh and cry, and sat with me long after I left WestCo Café Saturday night. The thoughtfulness displayed by Langan and Garfein clearly showed in the closeness among the cast and crew, as well as the care for the audience members. The talent displayed by the actors was phenomenal and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire performance.”
- Sabrina Ladiwala, The Wesleyan Argus
