A group of ambitious magazine employees compete for status and success until a shocking workplace tragedy transforms their lives, careers, and relationships forever.
What's Gloria Like?
Gloria begins as a funny, biting satire of young employees working at a New York magazine. The characters compete for attention, promotions, and status while navigating office politics and personal frustrations.
Just when the audience settles into what seems like a workplace comedy, the play takes a shocking turn that changes everything. The second half examines ambition, trauma, media culture, and the ways people use personal experiences to advance their careers.
Smart, provocative, and often uncomfortable, Gloria combines dark humor with serious themes, leaving audiences with plenty to discuss long after the curtain falls.
Is Gloria Good for Kids?
Not recommended for young children due to mature workplace themes, violence, and adult language.
Gloria on Broadway Background
Gloria is a darkly comic play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins that examines ambition, workplace culture, media obsession, and the way tragedy can be transformed into personal opportunity. Set in the offices of a New York magazine, the play follows a group of young editorial employees whose competitive professional lives are suddenly disrupted by a shocking act of violence.
Early Productions
The play premiered Off-Broadway in 2015 at the Vineyard Theatre. Its sharp writing, unexpected twists, and commentary on modern office culture earned widespread critical acclaim. The production was directed by Evan Cabnet and quickly became one of the most discussed new American plays of the season.
Recognition and Broadway
Gloria was named a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and helped establish Jacobs-Jenkins as one of the leading playwrights of his generation. More than a decade after its premiere, the play is making its Broadway debut at the Hayes Theater in spring 2027, introducing its provocative story to a wider audience.
