#JewPlay: Working Towards a Greater Jewish Theater

HowlRound: When my friend Abigail Vega called me to say she was coming back to Boston to attend the Latino/a Theatre Commons Convening (organized by HowlRound at our alma mater, Emerson College) my first thought was “why?” and my second thought was “I’m jealous —I wish we had that.” I was surprised by this knee-jerk reaction, and started to think about what this “we” meant to me, and why I was so quick to have that thought in the first place.

This is an interesting article. I never really thought about the jewish religion and theatre together. Being a jew I'm definitely interested in this article and its cool to see the recognition for the jewish community in the arts. I don't quite understand it but I'm definitely not going to argue with it.
