Jewish Women Do Write
At long last, Jewish women, internalizing their historical worth, are writing down their stories.
JWT encourages the Jewish woman to explore her Jewish identity and create from her heart. By fostering new work that reflects Jewish life in America in the 21st century, our hope is to make a lasting contribution to our culture and give future generations a clear picture of who we are and how we lived.
Chronicing our lives today communicates to the world that we feel we are important enough to be remembered.

Jewish Women’s Theatre offers a special spring workshop for writers –The Writer’s Studio Workshop.
The Writer’s Studio Workshop meets on six consecutive Tuesdays, starting early April from 6:30 until 10 and culminates in work performed in JWT’s third salon of the 2011 season. JWT will produce “The Write Journey” an evening of poetry, prose and short plays written by the JWT workshop and performed in the At-Homes Theatre Series.
Participants in the workshop are guaranteed at least one performance slot for their work during the salon, June 6-8.
A creative, inspiring opportunity to write your own story as a memoir or create for theatre a play, a work of fiction, short story, poetry, prose through innovative exercises. Writers will be writing in each session, read their work and share with the small safe community.
