Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids

Founded in 1992, Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids is dedicated to presenting quality theatrical productions with Jewish themes that are universal in appeal. In doing so, we hope to enrich the Jewish experience in West Michigan, and inform, educate, and engage both the Jewish and non-Jewish community.

Past productions have included comedies such as "Lost in Yonkers," and "I'm Not Rapaport," riveting dramas such as "The Chosen," and "Denial," and musicals, including "Esther, the Musical," an original musical written by local songwriter and playwright Lori Jacobs.
