Advertising in The Jewish News Gets Results
Place Your Ad Today, Call 354-6060

Jewish Culture (NFJC), the New
York-based sponsoring agency for
the CJT, awards grants to both
Jewish and non-Jewish theaters
to develop new plays dealing with
the Jewish experience.
This complements NFJC ef-
forts to counsel novice play-
wrights regarding ways to bring
their projects to the stage.
Nine theaters across the coun-
try this year received $5,000,
$3,000 or $1,000 in NFJC grants
in a competition that had 60 ap-
plicants.
Among the subjects being ex-
plored through the grants are the
reaction of a daughter to her
mother's suicide and the endur-
ing relationship between a
"Japanese-American soldier and
the Jewish prisoner he liberated
from a concentration camp.
"We've reached a silver age of
American Jewish plays and play-
wrights," said Dr. Schiff, who has
compiled two volumes of Jewish

"It's always been
tough and rather
tricky to get plays
on stage."

Ellen Schiff

plays. She did considerable re-
search before selecting the 15
works she believes demonstrate
the evolution of subjects ad-
dressed by American Jewish
dramatists.
"Jewish theaters now have to
compete with establishment the-
aters for mainstream Jewish
plays because there is tremen-
dous acceptability. What we see
on stage is very frequently a re-
flection of what goes on in soci-
ety."
Dr. Schiffs first volume, Awake

and Singing: Seven Classic Plays
From the American Jewish
Repertoire, includes selections
from the 1920s to the 1960s, of-
ten dealing with anti-Semitism
experienced in America.
In one example, a traveling
salesman encounters prejudice
as he moves to a new city; in an-
other, a soldier experiences anti-
Semitism.
Her second volume, Eight
Plays From the Contemporary
American Jewish Repertoire,
shows how authors' interests of-
ten have turned to problems
faced by Israelis.
'The plays range from the ear-
ly ones concerned with Jews get-
ting established in America to
Jews being so confident about
themselves as Americans that
they can devote their concerns to-
ward their brethren in Israel,"
said Dr. Schiff, who hopes the
texts will be used by universities

for Jewish studies programs.
She wrote a general introduc-
tion that distinguishes her selec-
tions from Yiddish theater works
and individual introductions that
provide biographical information
about the writers.
"It's always been tough and
rather tricky to get plays on
stage, but I think one of the ma-
jor inhibitory factors in the evo-
lution of Jewish characters and
Jewish situations on stage has
been the sensitivity of Jews as to
how they were portrayed pub-
licly," said Dr. Schiff, who is a con-
sultant to the NFJC and one of
the judges of their new plays com-
petition.
"One of the reasons we find so
many new Jewish characters,
such as Jews who are gay, on
stage today is because Jews feel
more comfortable about what
they see on stage."
Dr. Schiffs commitment to
American Jewish plays matches
that of Ms. Wessely-Baldwin's,
and the two have joined togeth-
er to plan a summer workshop
that would give Jewish play-
wrights a chance to try out their
works. As soon as their plan is
completed, they will begin look-
ing for funding sources.
