Gloria
Written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Directed by André Sills
An ambitious group of young editorial assistants at a notorious Manhattan magazine vie for a starry life of feature articles and book deals, all while the internet is completely upending their industry. When an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, these aspiring journalists recognize an opportunity to seize a career-defining moment. (Warning: excessive miss-use of the word “like” is used. Jacobs-Jenkins is brilliant at capturing the dialogue of his characters.)
An ARC Production in association with Crow’s Theatre.

Harbourfront Centre
Chapter 3: The Brutal Journey of the Heart
After a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, Harbourfront Centre will make its highly anticipated return to live performing arts on March 3 & 5, 2022, with the Canadian premiere of L-E-V’s visceral new work Chapter 3: The Brutal Journey of the Heart.
The work, choreographed by Co-Artistic Director of Israel’s L-E-V Sharon Eyal, will open Harbourfront Centre’s international contemporary dance series, Torque.
Chapter 3: The Brutal Journey of the Heart is an intoxicating and heart wrenching examination of love and loss, and the beauty that comes when life unfolds in new and wonderful ways.
Stunning costumes designed by Christian Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri to look like full-body tattoos, emblazoned with one bright red, bleeding heart, amplify the work’s intense sensuality and expressive movement.
