Henrietta Hermelin Weinberg with Arthur Beer in 1990 in JET’s The Merchant.
variety of plays this season,” Bremer
says. “Handle With Care, by Jason
Odell Williams and next on our sched-
ule, is a romantic comedy that pairs a
young Israeli woman with little com-
mand of English and an American
man with little command of romance.”
Henrietta Hermelin Weinberg, who
worked behind the scenes helping
launch JET and has appeared in more
than a dozen plays, takes the role of
the grandmother.
“I just love this part,” says Weinberg,
who will be honored at the JET Fall
Gala, Sept. 26, to benefit company
programming. “Among my favorite
JET parts was playing a very mean and
very different grandmother in Lost in
Yonkers.”
The honoree, who built an acting
career in New York and traveled for an
extended run in India, did not portray
Jewish characters between a childhood
part in a Purim play at Congregation
Shaarey Zedek and later roles with JET
after her children were getting older.
Weinberg, who has starred in the
Hilberry Repertory Theatre and the
American Mime Theatre, appeared in
more than 100 stage roles and seven
film roles. She credits her parents for
instilling in her a love of the perform-
ing arts; her father acted in Poland,
and her mother played the piano to
back up silent films.
“I think of JET as another home
to express myself, entertain and say
things that should be said,” explains
Weinberg, whose longest part was
just a few years ago at Meadow Brook
Theatre with lines spanning 94 pages
of a 97-page script.
“I think of JET as illuminating
because it evolves, and I think of
each part as expanding my horizons
because I dig deeper into my soul with
each one. I don’t want to just act parts;
I want to feel them.”
Susie Citrin, a member of the JET
board of directors and chairman of
the Gala Committee, developed a close
friendship with the honoree after
meeting her through JET.
“When Henrietta says she’ll do
something, you can count on it being
done with exuberance and a love for
life,” Citrin says. “Everyone at JET
adores her. I especially remember her
appearing in a version of Romeo and
Juliet taking place in the Middle East,
and she was a real presence on stage.”
Citrin has ushered for young peo-
ple’s productions (I Was Just Kidding,
Mean Girls, Word and Shame) address-
ing issues of bullying, with each play
appropriate for specific grade levels.
“We are working on a new play
about cyber bullying and the repercus-
sions of what is put on the internet,”
Bremer says. “It is being written by
Emilio Rodriguez, who wrote Shame.
“Emilio has been part of Teach for
America, working with children affect-
ed by poverty, and has taught theater
at Mumford High School in Detroit.
We’re glad that Emilio has joined our
board of directors and will be part of
the planning as we conclude our sea-
son with two exciting productions.”
Disgraced, by Ayad Akhtar, takes
place at a dinner party where cultural
differences bring dramatic confron-
tations; it is for mature audiences.
An Act of God, by David Javerbaum,
presents a comedy in which angels
ask centuries-old questions as Creator
answers are communicated by Jaime
Moyer, a Second City star and Disney
Channel regular.
“We’re confident we have a strong
mainstage season,” Bremer says. “We
looked for works that embrace Jewish
heritage and open audiences to think a
little while having fun.”
