Gloria Steinem is a class act and authentic in every way! - Suz

"I'm a realist, but I'm also a dreamer. And I am not just a dreamer, I'm a hopeaholic."

- Gloria Steinem

GLORIA: A LIFE, features Cynthia Jeffery as Gloria Steinem with an all-star ensemble: Samantha Cormier, Gianbari "Debora" Deebom, Emily Gates, Gretchen Wirges and To-Ree-Nee Wolf. This play brings us a richly detailed tapestry about one of the most remarkable women of our time. Five decades after Gloria Steinem began raising her voice for equality and championing those of others, her vision is as urgent as ever. Gloria's life's work and philosophy on the necessity of conversation as a catalyst for change offer us all a path forward in a way that only live theater can. This inspiring and powerful event is more than a play — it's a celebration of human connection.

"There is no better way to get back into theatre-mode than getting off the couch and venturing out once more as Invisible Theatre leads the way to a brighter tomorrow

GLORIA: A LIFE by Tony Nominated and 2021 "Goldie" recipient Emily Mann

HISTORY. HER STORY. OUR STORY.

Made Possible in Part Through the Generous Support of Sandy Maxfield

Produced and Directed by Susan Claassen

The play originally took us through the 2017 Women's March. Invisible Theatre contacted Emily and she (and Gloria Steinem herself) are collaborating with us to reflect the current times. Our original was the premiere production of GLORIA - A LIFE since the glass ceiling was broken and a woman was elected Vice President!

"When unique voices are united

in a common cause, they make history."
