Testimonials
"All About Jewish Theater is simply the best and most conclusive website I have ever found on Jewish theater - past, present, and future. The site is increadibly easy to use, full of historical scholarship for those researchers among us, and teeming with cutting edge information on new productions of Jewish theater around the globe. It is both academic and production oriented, and is founded on the assumption that we can and should talk about Jewish theater in a global way. What a tremendous accomplishment!"
