Our vision for this theatre is to reach out, not only to Jews, but to ALL people. The works of The American Jewish Theatre are all a deep dive into our world, and what it is like to be a Jew \u2013 and what it isn\u2019t. It is a view of the non-Jewish world, and its effect on Jews \u2013 how we live, and how we survive. Our vision is for people to look deep inside, examining their attitudes toward and perceptions of Jews and Jewish history. <strong>Join us in taking a stand against antisemitism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/theamericanjewishtheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jewcer-Campaign-Photo-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theamericanjewishtheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jewcer-Campaign-Photo-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/theamericanjewishtheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jewcer-Campaign-Photo-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/theamericanjewishtheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jewcer-Campaign-Photo-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/theamericanjewishtheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jewcer-Campaign-Photo.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Upcoming Shows:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">ESCAPE FROM TEHRAN Live Onstage<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Aug 7, 9-11 at Potrero Stage &amp;
