Dear Alliance for Jewish Theatre Friends,


It's time!!!


  • To make new connections
  • Find your Jewish mojo
  • And, yes, discover how we can do more together, as Jewish theatremakers


This year's theme is Col-Lab-Oration and through panels, showcases, workshops, networking events, and receptions (including food) we aim to make this our most meaningful conference ever.

THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE WILL BE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 11.


If you have any questions, please contact info@alljewishtheatre.org


Our mission to Connect Jewish Theatre to the World is needed more than ever. Through the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam we will stand together making the world a better place!
