Eva Trieger’s article in the San Diego Jewish World: “Viterbi’s IN EVERY GENERATION debates Jewish Questions”

“…The dialogue is tender and honest, and the fact that the readers learned so much Italian and Hebrew is most impressive!..This is quite an accomplishment for a writer so young.The show’s focus on miracles and inquiry makes for an interesting dichotomy. Luckily, as Jews, we’re allowed to question. I left the theater with several questions and few answers. However, I think that in order to seek resolution, I will have to look to our past, evaluate the present, and speculate about the future.  I think that’s what Ali Viterbi had in mind when she wrote this provocative script.”

North Coast Repertory Theatre| Lipinsky San Diego Jewish Arts Festival | San Diego, CA

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Gabrielle Hoyt

After a successful staged reading at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference on June 15, IN EVERY GENERATION is coming to the North Coast Repertory Theatre as part of the 25th annual Lipinsky San Diego Jewish Arts Festival.

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?

Tickets can be purchased here. For more info about the show, see the article on Broadway World here.

Tickets: $22 | NCRT subscribers $17
