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?

 North Coast Repertory Theatre| 25th annual Lipinsky San Diego Jewish Arts Festival
June 18, 2018

Written by Ali Viterbi

Directed by Gabrielle Hoyt

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.”

The rest of the glowing review can be found here!

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

A glowing review of the reading can be found here!
