Covid-19 Coronavirus
Beginning October 1, guests attending indoor performances at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, including the MeX Theatre will be required to provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR COVID test taken within 72 hours of the performance time. CLICK HERE for more information.
Each performance of GLORIA: A LIFE culminates in an impromptu talking circle hosted by local artists, activists and journalists including author and poet Hannah Drake, former chair and current advocate for Planned Parenthood Kim Greene and former editorial director of the Courier Journal Pam Platt.
The New York Times called out the construct of the play, noting “it would be more apt to compare it to a consciousness-raising group, the kind in which Ms. Steinem found her own voice by listening to others.”
