Monday’s opening-night performance of 'Gloria: A Life' featured an appearance by the activist herself.
If performer Susan Lynskey found it nerve-racking to step onstage in the title role and channel the icon who had just spoken, no angst showed. Lynskey’s wry, self-possessed Gloria anchors director Holly Twyford’s vigorous production of “Gloria,” a play that — if Steinem’s dictum holds — dispenses significant wisdom, since it studiously but engagingly shares many stories.
Others are friends and colleagues, including women of color who inspire or mentor Gloria, depicted by a cast that includes Debora Crabbe, Sydney Lo and Erin Weaver. Mani Yangilmau brings gravitas and humor to the role of Wilma Mankiller, first contemporary female principle chief of the Cherokee Nation, and a vibrant Awa Sal Secka plays Florynce “Flo” Kennedy, lawyer turned feminist organizer.
