“Connecting Jewish Theatre to the World”
The Alliance for Jewish Theatre (AJT)'s mission is to develop, innovate, promote, and preserve theatre with a Jewish sensibility. As the leading organization for Jewish theatre worldwide, AJT: Advocates for Jewish theatre and theatre artists doing Jewish content.
