    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.
