Decades after Gloria Steinem began raising her voice for equality and championing the voices of others, her vision is as urgent as ever. In this exploration of the iconic feminist’s legacy, the first act tells her story, and the second invites the audience to share their own.

Gloria: A Life embodies Steinem’s philosophy that conversation is a catalyst for change as it celebrates one of the most inspiring women of our time. This production includes strong language, mature themes, and discussions of sexual harassment and domestic violence.

In a unique and interactive take, Act II of this play is a “talking circle.” After telling Gloria’s story in Act I, the actors will begin a discussion. At several performances, a local “Guest Responder” will launch the talking circle by sharing their own story of breaking barriers or simply responding to the play. This gives an opportunity for the audience to learn from each other, as, according to Gloria this “is the way we discover we’re not crazy and we’re not alone.”

Maharat Rori Picker Neiss will be the Guest Responder on June 15, 2023 and The New Jewish Theatre has offered JCRC a group discount price at $37/ticket. If you need assistance or have questions, please contact Cheryl Adelstein at 314-442-3872. Please note all tickets are non-refundable and tickets are not exchangeable.

Performance will take place at The New Jewish Theatre, Wool Studio Theatre, 2 Millstone Campus Dr, St. Louis, MO, 63146
