Message from Alliance for Jewish Theatre member Wendy Kout - West Coast screenwriter, playwright and producer
Jewish humor. Where would we all (Jews and non-Jews) be without it? Would we even BE without it?
So, I have been tasked to help organize and be on the panel on Jewish humor at the next Alliance for Jewish Theatre Conference in Boston in October 22 - 25 2017.
