Jewish Women's Theatre

Jewish Women’s Theatre was founded to develop, perform and document the unique stories of Jewish American women today. By establishing a home for such material, JWT can make a lasting contribution to our culture.

Jewish Women’s Theatre developed “At-Homes” A Salon Theatre Series to perform theatrical works in the intimacy of homes, a throwback to the Salons of yesteryear. Subscribers enjoy plays, poetry, monologues, and live music, as well as engaging in discussion…and, of course, great food. The Jewish Women’s Theatre is a project of Community Partners and contributions are tax deductible to extent of the law.
