Overview

The Jewish Theatre Ensemble is one of nine student-run theatre boards at Northwestern University. We strive to create conversation about Jewish themes through our work, and do so through four mainstage productions and several special projects each year.  Want to learn more?  Meet our Executive Board or learn about our season histories in the pages that follow.

JTE's Mission

The Jewish Theatre Ensemble exists to provide the Northwestern community with high quality entertainment and exposure to Jewish involvement in the arts. The organization aspires to challenge common perceptions and generate conversation relating to issues that fall within the resonance of the Jewish experience through artistic media with particular relevance to the Northwestern community. JTE will be involved in the celebration and education of Jewish culture on campus. In order to do this, The Jewish Theatre Ensemble will operate at a level of artistic excellence as well as encourage and support creative endeavors that promote Jewish themes in the arts.
