Welcome back to the 83rd episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. The theatres may be closed, but art finds a way to survive! For the time being on this podcast we are rereleasing our past reviews, interviews, roundtables, and duet reviews in remastered audio only versions so you can take your CoH content on the go! For our 83rd episode we bring you a Duet Review of of the Canadian premiere of Gloria by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, directed by André Sills, currently being presented in Toronto by ARC in association with Crow’s Theatre. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz, as they discuss this satirical peek at the modern workplace, the commodification of trauma in mainstream publishing, and the power of kindness!
CORRECTION: Jonelle Sills (André’s sister) sang the opera section right after the end of Act 1 and Claud Spadafora sang the song ‘Glitter Witch’.
Gloria is playing at Streetcar Crowsnest (345 Carlaw Ave., Toronto, ON) until March 20th, 2022. Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://www.crowstheatre.com/whats-on/view-all/gloria
