The Jewish Theatre Ensemble was founded in 1995 by a group of five students who were intent on expanding the university's student-theatre community by producing plays and musicals involving Jewish themes. Since its first season, JTE has presented over thirty of these productions to students at Northwestern as well as members of the Evanston community. In addition to producing work by established playwrights, JTE is committed to the creation and development of new plays and in the past has sponsored a playwriting festival for aspiring writers at Northwestern. JTE continues to entertain and inspire the community with its JTE Storytellers troupe, in which members share well-loved folktales as well as personal stories about their own experiences with Judaism.
