JTE is one of nine student-run theatre boards at Northwestern University, and is proud to be a part of the Student Theatre Coalition community. We endeavor to produce faith based theatre that is specifically Jewish, universally human, and that mantra extends to the artists who make it. While all members of our executive board are passionate about the role of Judaism in the theatre, many of our members are not Jewish and have no background or knowledge of Judaism. We aspire to challenge common perceptions and generate conversation relating to issues that fall within the resonance of the Jewish experience through artistic media. The Jewish Theatre Ensemble fosters a community of learning, growth, and education for all of our members and collaborators, and we encourage and support all creative endeavors that promote Jewish and faith based themes in the arts.
