I don’t want to be in some kind of white tower in New York deciding by fiat what new Jewish theater should be. We talk to audiences and lay leaders about what plays to develop and which ones to advance, and we take their opinion seriously.
Our goal is to add 10 new Jewish plays and musicals to the cannon of world dramatic literature.ĭavid Winitsky: Two main things: first, we believe in community input and interaction at every step. We advocate for our pieces to be produced on mainstream stages around the U.S., and sometimes even around the world. We seek out the most exciting, new and different Jewish plays and musicals, provide them development and artistic support in New York, and then connect with the audiences that need to see them – either in Jewish or theater environments.

HUNDRED DAYS NYTW HOW TO
These stories started a conversation for my family on how to honor forgotten pieces of our past and find personal empowerment through an incredible legacy.Īll stories start conversations, and this June, I had the privilege of engaging in a conversation that’s more relevant than ever, thanks to The Jewish Plays Project, known for putting bold, progressive Jewish conversations on world stages. I’ve written about the painstaking process of pulling the stories out of my relatives from seven different countries in order to piece together my own family narrative, ultimately discovering that I come from a long line of resilient survivors. What I recall most from my own Jewish upbringing are these stories – the stories that taught us lessons, that shed light on the past, and the stories with no scarcity of unmistakable Jewish humor. Judaism has quite the longstanding tradition of storytelling.
Through story, we each have the capacity to shape the world we live in and build a culture based on compassion. And the best part about a story is that everybody has one. Storytelling, since the beginning of time, has driven change, created movements, and initiated societal transformations. It’s a question we ask, “Mah Nishtanah,” on the Jewish holiday of Passover – a time to celebrate the power that comes from the simple act of telling a story, in order to move ourselves forward. A quality wine will increase the reputation of your company worldwide, it may have come at a higher price and will allow you to grow better and faster.“Why is this night different from all other nights?” You will also have to sell the wine produced to allow your company to expand.Īs in reality, every choice made, from the vineyard to the sales, will be able to influence the wine produced both in quantity and quality. Then following the entire winemaking process deciding on the type of wine you want to produce or the market requires. First choose which vines to grow, learn how to grow them and when to harvest. In Hundred Days you will have complete control of a new Winery.
