Help us bring THE NEW SINCERITY by Alena Smith to The Vino Theater in March of 2026!

Rose Spencer has just achieved the ultimate young-intellectual’s dream: becoming a staff writer for a prestigious New York literary/criticism journal. And her editor, the smart and attractively cynical Benjamin, is definitely flirting with her—while also respecting her writing. With the sudden rise of an Occupy-style political movement in a public park right outside the journal’s offices, Rose sees a way to participate in what may be the defining activist movement for her generation, but too quickly she must learn to recognize the difference between sincere action and skillful self-promotion.

Viraj, David and I fell in love with this play for it's comedic commentary on activism and why we feel the need to respond. We're thrilled to be bringing it to life in the new year and appreciate your support for the arts!
