thumb Theater J is a professional theater company located in Washington, DC, founded to present works that "celebrate the distinctive urban voice and social vision that are part of the Jewish cultural legacy" as a self-mission. ==Organization== Hailed by The New York Times as “The Premier Theater for Premieres,” and recipient of 61 Helen Hayes nominations and awards, Theater J has emerged as one of the most distinctive, progressive and respected Jewish theaters on the national and international scene. A program of the Washington DC Jewish Community Center, Theater J performs in the Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater, part of the Washington, D.C. Jewish Community Center's Morris Cafritz Center for the Arts in D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood. Founding Artistic Director is Martin Blank. In December, 2014, Ari Roth, Theater J's artistic director of 18 years, was fired after a series of widely publicized disagreements between Roth and his superior, the executive director of the Washington DCJCC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ari Roth, Director of Jewish Theater, Is Fired )〕 (Adam Immerwahr ) will serve as Theater J's new Artistic Director, beginning December 2015. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Theater J names new artistic director: Adam Immerwahr )〕 Performing in the 240-seat Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater in the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood, Theater J works with some of the world’s most distinguished authors for the stage. It has produced world premieres by Thomas Keneally, Robert Brustein, Wendy Wasserstein, Joyce Carol Oates and Ariel Dorfman, with many debuts from emerging writers like Anna Ziegler, Sam Forman and Renee Calarco. Theater J’s diverse body of work also includes the ongoing initiative: Locally Grown: Community Supported Art Festival, which supports the development of new plays by local playwrights. It has been called out by The Washington Post as “simply one of the most important and worthwhile projects that any local theater has adopted." With hit productions including Talley’s Folly, The Disputation, Honey Brown Eyes, The Chosen (a Theater J production presented by Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater), New Jerusalem, After the Fall, Our Class, Race and Freud's Last Session, it's no surprise that The Washington Post proclaims that “Theater J propels itself to a new level of engagement with its audience, and, perhaps, to the forefront of theaters exposing Americans to drama that stirs the conscience as it illuminates aspects of Jewish culture.” Winner of the 2008 Mayor’s Arts Award for Excellence in an Artistic Discipline, Theater J also offers much more than just productions through Beyond the Stage, which includes readings; a wide array of post-show programming such as panel discussions, cast talkbacks, and our Passports Program which brings theater to area students and underserved adult populations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theater J」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
