Theatre
 
We offer two forms of dramatic performances here at the JCC. Full-length plays performed by the actors of the Jewish Theatre Workshop and dramatic readings arranged by the Prime Performa Series.
 
The Jewish Theatre Workshop (JTW) puts on several performances a year as our resident theatre group. JTW is an interdenominational and interfaith theatre company that provides opportunities for Shomer-Shabbat artists to participate in the theatre-making process.

A Staged Reading of “A Modest Suggestion”
Saturday, November 20; 8:00pm
Weinberg PH JCC- Straus Auditorium
 
Four business men sit in the conference room looking at the newest item on the docket: do they kill all of the Jews or not? This satirical new play, directed by Etan Weintraub and performed for the first time in Baltimore, takes a seriously funny look at one of the unfunniest aspects of humanity: hatred and murder of others for no reason. Like Jonathan Swift did in his famous “A Modest Proposal,” playwright Ken Kaissar
asks humanity to look at itself in the mirror to consider the absurdities of genocide in any form. The performance will be followed by a discussion of the issues raised in the play.

The Prime Performa Series often has two dramatic readings a year of well known plays. One in the fall and one in the spring, both featuring Baltimore-area actors.
