“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.

 

In 2019 I started volunteering for the AJT as their social media coordinator. Since then I’ve served as their social media manager to lead the organization’s social media strategies, and became a Vice President serving on the executive board.

 

These days I host and co-produce AJT’s monthly podcast Theatre Schmooze, where I interview prominent Jewish theatre artists, including Rebecca Taichman, Yehudah Jai Husband, and Adam Immerwahr.
