Pam Kragen’s article in the San Diego Union Tribune: “Theater Notebook: San Diego Rep’s Jewish fest honors four San Diego ‘Women of Valor’ — specifically featuring Ali Viterbi’s piece honoring Dr. Sonia Ancoli-Israel”
“One of the most moving films is about Ancoli-Israel, a renowned sleep researcher and retired professor from UC San Diego School of Medicine.”
The rest of the review can be found here! And Dr. Ancoli-Israel’s video (as well as the rest of the 2021 Women of Valor series) can be found here.
Ali is thrilled to announce that she will be joining the 2021/2021 Geffen Playhouse Writers’ Room. A group for Los Angeles-based playwrights, The Writers’ Room is a product of the Geffen’s deep commitment to supporting new plays and specifically to fostering bold, relevant work by the vibrant artistic community of this city. During a one-year residency, playwright members gather monthly at the Geffen to share their work and receive feedback from their peers in a forum facilitated by Rachel Wiegardt-Egel, the Geffen’s Manager of New Play Development. In addition to the feedback of their fellow writers, members receive dramaturgical support from the theater’s artistic staff, a ticket to all Gil Cates Theater shows at the Geffen for the season in which their residency takes place, and the opportunity to further develop their work with a director and actors in a culminating reading that may be open to the public. The 2020/2021 cycle of The Writers’ Room will commence virtually, with plans for participants to also collaborate in person when possible, in accordance with local government health and safety guidelines. The participants for 2020/2021 are Meghan Brown, Diana Burbano, Donald Jolly, Matthew Paul Olmos, T.Tara Turk-Haynes and Ali Viterbi. More information can be found here.

A woman of valor, who shall find? The Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Art Festival’s centerpiece each year has honored and profiled remarkable women and pillars of the San Diego Jewish community. In every Woman of Valor, we tell stories of strength and inspiration to create a portrait of the resilience of our community. In a time of isolation, we feel that these stories are more essential than ever.
This year, each Woman of Valor will be highlighted in one of six video episodes, premiering online at 7:30 PM on June 11, 14, 16, 18, 21 and 23 on San Diego Repertory Theatre’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. The videos will remain available to view online after they premiere.
Ali’s play SHAME SPIRAL (or a probably-bad-stupid-nobody-will-ever-want-to-watch-it play about The Bachelor) was selected among over 735 as one of 35 finalists for this year’s Bay Area Playwrights Festival. She is thrilled to be a finalist, along with some of her dear friends and talented colleagues. The press release can be found here.
