Broadway World Los Angeles thinks Gloria is “remarkably riveting”!

“Through its bold structure, witty dialogue, and biting satire, the searing play confronts the audience with plenty of uncomfortable truths about human nature”

“The layout of the room—featuring Christopher Scott Murillo’s convincingly chic modern office set design—provides an open environment for constant conversations”

“filled with snide, biting humor”

“Engagingly rendered with biting wit and sharp dialogue, GLORIA is an absorbing, edge-of-your-seat play that commands rapt attention during its entire two-act structure.”

“Jacobs-Jenkins effortlessly balances humor and jarring tension”

“The play does move quickly between different tones—from absurdity to horror, from irony to shame—while keeping the audience interchangeably engaged and shocked.”

“Chance’s production of this compelling play is quite exemplary, further enhanced not only by the theater’s small footprint—placing the audience extremely close to the intense action—but also by the excellent work of its ensemble cast, many of whom play discernible multiple roles across two acts.”

“Chance Theater’s captivating production of GLORIA is a boldly incisive critique of modern society, presented with sharp comedic and dramatic tones that are both timely and unsettling.”
