Welcome to Jewish Theatre

"Local theater at its best. Truly Grand Rapids' hidden gem"
-- Amber Brandt April 10, 2016
"We saw "For This Moment Alone" last night. What an outstanding production; very thoughtful with richly dimensional characters fully portrayed. Freddie's eyes are a story unto themselves. Special kudos to Christian Poquette whose set design is almost a replica of my Bubbie's home from when I was a kid growing up in Toronto in the early '50s."
-- Dave Kagan April 2016
"I found "For This Moment Alone" very poignant with tension-relieving humor and a thoughtful ending."
-- Celeste Gerke April 2016
"Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids presents a variety of quality productions with enduring messages, excellent staging, acting and directing. (Seldom is there a miss in the years I have attended.) Certainly at least on a par with the best in town, even some with better budgets and bigger hype. The "The Whipping Man" was one of the most emotionally charged plays I've ever seen. Thankfully there were talkbacks after the performances to vent some of the strong feelings the play brought to the surface. Jewish Theatre is the only ethnic theatre addressing universal themes in a Jewish context. See for yourself soon."
-- Bruce Roller January 2, 1014
""A Happy End" - It was a good performance last night! Very timely. We always enjoy JTGR performances. You bring some thought-provoking performances to town."
-- Eric Soya September 2017
