Victory Gardens Theatre| Spring 2022
Written by Ali Viterbi
Directed by Devon De Mayo
Reviews for Victory Garden’s 2022 production:
“Viterbi’s play probes the themes of what exactly it means to pass down the dual threads of ritual and trauma from those who came before us. And the play succeeds in that Viterbi opens up these questions but doesn’t provide tidy answers.” – Broadway World
“Ali Viterbi’s latest play is having a fine, first fully-staged production here in Chicago… This play will… undoubtedly go on to become a popular title in theatres around the country.” – Chicago Theatre Review
“Viterbi’s dialogue, de Mayo’s staging, and the rich performances offer us plenty to consider about survival, fear, and love.” – Chicago Reader
“Smart and moving.” – Chicago Sun Times
“Recommend!” – Around the Town Chicago
“In Every Generation” may be centered around a Jewish tradition, but the investigation of one’s intentions behind traditions and the mysteries of inherited trauma are universal. And it unites the audience, by highlighting the shared questions we have behind the human condition, no matter which generations, across every generation, reminding us that it’s only natural to question our own existence and to examine the true motives behind our behavior. ” – PicksinSix
