Not Your Grandparents’ Jewish Theater

Delve into contemporary Jewish theater, from the religious to the secular, from comedies of manners to political dramas. Come early for a set of participatory performances by guest theater groups including Storahtelling, BIMA-NY, and The Northwoods Ramah Theatre Company. Then join Theater J’s artistic director, Ari Roth, and several other prominent theater professionals as they examine the characteristics, impact and responsibilities of Jewish theater today.

Break-out discussions follow the performances, with members of some of the nation’s most successful Jewish theaters including Theater J and The Jewish Theater of New York.
