More information about Gloria
Gloria is a shape-shifting play that takes place, at first, in a high-end magazine office where low-profile media workers try clawing their way to the top. Ruthless and driven, these striving New Yorkers are climbing the corporate ladder as the industry around them combusts. A recent period piece, Gloria satirizes the dog-eat-dog world of media that defined in-person work of the 2010s, before COVID upended that work cycle.
But it is another event that upends the work cycle depicted in this play — an unfathomable act that makes this story one about the very creation of stories. The play dives into writers' insidious ambitions and craven tactics to emerge on top.
“Second Stage Theater has always been the premiere home for contemporary works by both emerging writers and established masters, and this upcoming season is no exception," the play's director and Second Stage Artistic Director, Evan Cabnet, said in a statement.
