11th Annual Women of Valor

June 13 @ 7:30pm and June 23 @ 2pm

San Diego REP | San Diego, CA

By Ali Viterbi, Todd Salovey, Leah Salovey, Sarah Price-Keating, and Rebecca Myers

Directed by Ali Viterbi

 

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.

World Premiere at Victory Gardens Theater!

IN EVERY GENERATION

World Premiere

November 13 – December 13, 2020

Victory Gardens Theater | Chicago, IL

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Devon de Mayo

Each Passover, for four millennia, we ask: why is this night different from all other nights? And each year, the Levi-Katz clan has answered, while struggling with questions of race and religion that never seem to get resolved. The family finds strength in tradition (vegan brisket or no); but each year of celebration brings more pressing questions about the future: if trauma is generational, then must we be defined by it? Will we ever be free? Written by Ali Viterbi, In Every Generation was the 2019 winner of the National Jewish Playwriting Contest, and will have its world premiere at Victory Gardens, staged by Devon de Mayo (If I Forget, Victory Gardens).

More information about the play and tickets can be found here. And the full announcement for Victory Garden’s spectacular 2020-2021 season can be found here.
