| The
Jewish Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre whose aim is to share our vibrant
Jewish culture with the broader WNY community by presenting plays that deal with
Jewish and multi-cultural themes and issues. We are motivated by a belief that
dramatic art offers a unique opportunity to diverse audiences to learn more about
Jewish values and customs. The
JRT is unique in the Buffalo theatre community. Our first season produced rave
reviews and sold-out houses and we were nominated for an ARTIE award for Best
Production.
Now
in our fourth season we are pleased to present Wendy Wasserstein's THE SISTERS
ROSENSWEIG, Donald Margulies' BROOKLYN BOY, and Jon Marans' Pulitzer Prize nominated
play, OLD WICKED SONGS.
THE
SISTERS ROSENSWEIG
by Wendy Wasserstein Dec.
7-Dec. 31, 2006 | A
captivating comedy about the transformative power of love, sisterhood and life
with writing that is sharp, scintillating and sparkling.. Ms. Wasserstein wrote
this comedy as a tribute to her sisters and "for all women who have endured
and triumphed with the love of their sisters." Nominated for five Tony Awards,
this endearing and intelligent play is, as The New York Times wrote, "a captivating
look at three uncommon women and their quest for love, self-definition and fulfillment."

22-Mar. 18, 2007 | A
marvelously rich, wonderfully funny and deeply moving work about a novelist who’s
finally hit the big time, with a best selling book primed for a Hollywood adaptation.
But when his father’s health brings him back to the Brooklyn of his childhood,
he is forced to reconcile the boy he was, with the successful man he has become.
