Jewish Family Theatre

Cultural Arts Director:

Artistic Director:

The Weinstein JCC’s Jewish Family Theatre is the only Jewish Theatre in the Richmond area. It helps to meet the cultural needs of the growing Jewish community in Richmond and surrounding areas, by producing theatre with Jewish content. JFT is committed to presenting plays which challenge, enlighten and entertain…plays which otherwise might not be produced in this area…plays which connect Jews to their own cultural community, and build bridges to others.

The JFT gives a voice to the creativity brimming in our community and encourages people to explore the art in their own lives, as well as bring theatre to the community that is both affordable, and the highest quality.

As a true community theatre, the JFT operates withan all-volunteer base. Further, we are dedicated to offering a variety of opportunities for our community to learn, enjoy, and participate in all aspects of live theatre. We welcome friends of all ages and ethnicities, from beginners to experienced pros, and ask them to help us explore the magic of the stage.

Brighton Beach Memoirs
Dramatic Comedy by Neil Simon
Directed by Fred Kaufman
Eugene Jerome is a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and Grandpa the Socialist and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household.

Performances:
