The Association for Jewish Theatre (AJT) is an international network whose members are committed to the enhancement of Jewish culture through theatre. AJT and its members are committed to supporting, preserving and promoting the development of Jewish theater and Jewish theater artists. Members include theater companies of varying sizes from around the world as well as individual playwrights, dramaturges, critics and others interested in Jewish theatre.
AJT keeps its membership informed of current trends in Jewish Theatre and increases the visibility of its members. A newsletter is published once a year, and an annual conference is held at a member theatre, giving members an opportunity to network and learn with like-minded professionals. In addition, each theatre or individual member receives a page on the Association website.
Membership is open to theatres whose mission statements and theater seasons promote the production of plays that reflect the broad range of the Jewish experience, and to individuals whose interests reflect active involvement in Jewish theatre.
AJT is an independent organization.
