In Every Generation wins the National Jewish Playwriting Contest!

IN EVERY GENERATION

September 4 @ 7:30pm

Jewish Plays Project | 14th St Y | New York City

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Howard Shalwitz

IN EVERY GENERATION has won the 2019 National Jewish Playwriting Contest! Over 150 playwrights from 27 states and 6 countries submitted plays to the Contest. The JPP chose the play through its signature community-centered process, which combined the efforts of over 1,000 people in 7 cities – artists in New York, clergy and Jewish lay leaders, and theater-savvy audiences – a unique effort that provides one-of-kind feedback to playwrights and invaluable audience response to prospective producers.

The play will receive the JPP’s featured workshop reading at the Theater at the 14th Street Y, 344 East 14th Street, on Wednesday, September 5th at 7:30 pm. Audiences can reserve tickets at www.jewishplaysproject.org or jewishplaysproject.eventbrite.com

One family. One holiday. Four millennia. The Levi-Katz family celebrates Passover again and again (and again and again) and while times, location, and languages change, traditions stay the same. Over matzah ball soup and (vegan) brisket, the close-knit clan contends with questions of race, religion, and inter-generational trauma. The present echoes the past—and the past the present—as the family repeatedly reenacts the exodus from Egypt, each time asking themselves: must we define ourselves through trauma? Will we ever be free? And why is this night different from all other nights?

The Barrow Group | New York, NY

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Gabrielle Hoyt

After two successful staged readings at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Alaska and the North Coast Repertory Theatre in San Diego, IN EVERY GENERATION will have its first New York public reading at The Barrow Group!

IN EVERY GENERATION is a mystical journey through continents, languages and generations of a family and nation’s stories. An Italian Jewish family joins together for Passover Seders year after year, era to era. Over matzah ball soup and (vegan) brisket, sibling rivalries simmer, plagues fall, and miracles are both remembered and forgotten. IN EVERY GENERATION asks what happens to a people once they are no longer in danger? How does a community collectively adjust to freedom?

Produced by Emma Hills

After freshman Joni joins sorority Theta Beta, she learns that sisterhood means more than the colors you wear. Accompanied by her troubled best friend Kate, Joni spirals down a rabbit hole of bulimia dream ballets, Bachelor restoration comedies, and Dirty Disney ragers. Confronted with a world that confounds her expectations, Joni forces all the members of Theta Beta to ask: what do women owe other women? Period Sisters, a 2018 O’Neill finalist, creates a searing portrait of life as a young, 21st century woman. A fierce new voice in the American theater, playwright Ali Viterbi mixes fun with fury, creating the feminist theater you didn’t know you needed.

Tickets: $15

This full-length, non-linear, two-actor play chronicles Sadie and Ethan’s twenty-year relationship as they tour with the Grateful Dead across the country. As Sadie and Ethan travel from concert to concert, the audience follows the triumphs and travails of their relationship—from collegiate concerns to marital challenges. Each scene is set in a different year and different motel room, as Sadie and Ethan, played by the same actors, fall in and out of love with the Dead, as well as with each other. The play investigates how healthy relationships become abusive, and why people remain committed to each other over time. Played to the music of the Grateful Dead, DEADHEADS asks “Where does the time go” when you think you’re in love.
