Kyle Beltran & More Tapped for Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Gloria Off-Broadway

Casting and dates are now set for the previously announced world premiere of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Gloria. The off-Broadway production will feature Kyle Beltran, Jeanine Serralles, Jennifer Kim, Catherine Combs, Mike Crane and Ryan Spahn. Performances will begin at the Vineyard Theatre on May 28, with opening night set for June 15. Evan Cabnet will direct.

The new play follows an ambitious group of editorial assistants at a famed Manhattan magazine—each hoping for a book deal before they turn 30. When an unexpected event shatters life as they've known it, the stakes for who will get to tell their story becomes higher than ever.

Beltran made his Broadway debut in In the Heights and recently starred off-Broadway in The Fortress of Solitude. Serralles’ previous credits include Maple and Vine and Stunning on stage and Inside Llewyn Davis and Across the Universe on screen. Kim can be seen on Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle. Combs’ previous stage credits include Smokefall and The Edge of Our Bodies. Spahn appeared in He’s Way More Famous Than You, which he also co-wrote. Crane’s stage credits include Winter’s Tale and Manhattan Melody.

The production will feature scenic design by Takeshi Kata, costumes by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by Matt Frey and sound design by Matt Tierney.
