Join the Jewish Plays Project and the Silicon Valley Community Readers Panel (Producers: Deborah Radin, Susan Sims and Ellice Papp) for this one-of-a-kind event that leads the country in setting the direction for the future of new Jewish theater.
The Jewish Playwriting Contest seeks to discover, highlight and nurture contemporary Jewish drama by engaging with artistic and Jewish communities throughout the English-speaking world. The contest has received and vetted over 1,800 plays by 1,000 writers in 34 states and 10 countries. The JPP has actively developed 55 of those plays, 36 of which have gone on to production in cities across the globe, including New York, Los Angeles, London and Tel Aviv, playing for more than 100,000 audience members.
Fun fact: JPP is very proud that one of the plays that won our contest at the JCC, In Every Generation by Ali Viterbi, is coming to Theaterworks Silicon Valley in January 2023!
The JPP has featured some of the best artists working in New York, including writers David Hein and Irene Sankoff (Come from Away), Jonathan Caren (Rise on Netflix), and Lauren Yee (Cambodian Rock Band); directors Marc Bruni (Beautiful), Daniella Topol (Rattlestick Theater AD) and Tamilla Woodard (Yale Drama School); and actors Andrew Polk (The Band's Visit), Gus Birney (Dickinson on AppleTV+), Ronald Guttman (Mad Men, Hunters), Kirrilee Berger (Amazon's Just Add Magic), and Obie and Drama Desk nominee Marcia Jean Kurtz.
