IN EVERY GENERATION

May 26 – June 19, 2022

San Diego Repertory Theatre | San Diego, CA | Lyceum Space

By Ali Viterbi

Directed by Todd Salovey

 

IN EVERY GENERATION will receive its 2nd production at the San Diego Repertory Theatre!

One family. One holiday. Four millennia. The Levi-Katz family celebrates Passover again and again—1416 BCE, 1954, 2019 and 2050 to be exact! While the time, location, and language changes, the traditions stay the same. Over matzah ball soup and (vegan) brisket, this 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?

More information about the play and tickets can be found here. And the full announcement for San Diego REP’s  2021-2022 season can be found here in the San Diego Union Tribune.

“One of the most moving films is about Ancoli-Israel, a renowned sleep researcher and retired professor from UC San Diego School of Medicine.”

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.

Eileen Wingard’s article in the San Diego Jewish World: “Ali Viterbi Play Hits Hot Button Issues”

“Playwright Ali Viterbi , judging by In Every Generation, is a fresh young voice with much to say… [The play] touches upon intergenerational expectations, care for aging parents, divorce, intermarriage, homosexuality, interracial adoption, sibling rivalry, and tensions over religious practice. All are deftly woven into an engaging tapestry, beginning with a three generational family celebrating a Passover seder in the present… The large audience and standing ovation reflected the strong, positive reaction to the excellent presentation.”
