Breakdown
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, critically acclaimed playwright of APPROPRIATE and AN OCTOROON and winner of The Vineyard’s Paula Vogel Playwriting Award, makes his Vineyard mainstage debut with GLORIA. This funny, trenchant and powerful new 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. Developed at The Vineyard during Branden’s residency, GLORIA is directed by Evan Cabnet (OUTSIDE PEOPLE, A KID LIKE JAKE, THE MODEL APARTMENT).
SEEKING:
KENDRA:
Asian-American or half Asian-American Female, 27: An assistant. Fabulous, trendy, you may mistake her for flighty but she’s potentially the sharpest person in the room. Loud and opinionated. Must have comic chops. Graduated Berkeley and Harvard.
MILES:
African-American Male, 20’s. The intern. Quiet, keeps to himself, doesn’t make much of an impression. He works hard, but that could be ambition or just because he has nowhere else to go. Goes to Harvard, got this internship through an acclaimed professor.
LORIN:
Male, 37: Recently promoted head fact checker. “A sad sad sad sad guy.” He’s been at the magazine for way too long and resents his own success in the fact checking department.
DEAN:
Caucasian Male, 29: An assistant. Aggressive, driven, desperately trying to break out of his position and potentially killing himself in the process. He is gay.
GLORIA
[CAST]: Female, late 30s: A copy editor. She’s worked at the magazine too long and is now worn out in a way that’s given her a manic, wired, testy energy.
ANI
[CAST]: Caucasian Female, early 20’s: An assistant. Exacting, a “pretty nerd”—the kind of girl who wears her mother’s dresses. She did a Fulbright and speaks too many languages for her own good. She does a lot, but she doesn’t really know what she wants to do.
