Wagner New Play Festival 

A new play by Ali Viterbi

Directed by Natalie Griffith Robichaux

The Wagner New Play Festival features world-premiere productions written by the MFA playwrights and directed, acted, stage-managed and designed by the nationally acclaimed MFA companies. The plays represent some of the most original and groundbreaking new voices in American theatre.

SHAME SPIRAL Synopsis: When contestant Lauren S joins The Bachelor in its 23rd season, she’s prepared for all the drama if it means finding her one true love. What she’s not prepared for is the internet’s response to the revelation of her virginity and the subsequent fallout. SHAME SPIRAL engulfs us in the alternate reality of reality TV complete with false eyelashes, red roses, antiquated gender roles, and this persistent sense of shame that seems to lurk beneath every single moment. What’s the price we’re willing to pay to find true love? And why do the things that give us pleasure make us feel so guilty?

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?

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Gabrielle Hoyt

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.
