    A Message from the President THEATRE THE MIRROR TO OUR SOUL association Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all? for jewish This year, the Association of Jewish theatre Theatres gathered in St. Louis - the Gateway City - to create gateways between directors and playwrights, spring between communities, between theaters and between our selves and 2002 our colleagues in Israel. Gateways were explored and created. At one point during our gathering, Ari Roth (Artistic Director, Theatre J), Robbie Gringras (Community and Culture Department, Jewish Agency, Israel) and I shared our experiences at the Towards a Vibrant Jewish Theatre conference in Tel Aviv this past - Chutzpah Festival December. We reflected on the differences of the theater created by our Israeli colleagues and the work we present on our stages here in North American.

From the audience came the directive to look in a mirror. Not wanting to distract from the Away That Got The One topic at hand I let the remark pass - but - the comment begs for a response. AJT’s Executive 2002-2003 Theatre is a mirror - and this is what draws people to return for President Deborah Baer Mozes another glance, performance after performance, year after year, and Vice President Susan Lodish generation after generation. We go to the theater and we create Secretary Kathleen Sitzer theater because it is the mirror to the soul.
