A non-sectarian, not-for-profit, professional company, AJTC is a member of the Association for Jewish Theatre, Phoenix Community Alliance, Alliance for Audience, Local First AZ, and Arizona Citizens for the Arts. Founded in 1988 as a community theatre, the company now fields an annual season of three of four shows that present a Jewish perspective but have universal themes that appeal to the general population as well – for example, Dreyfus in Rehearsal, The Blessing of a Broken Heart, and What About Luv? In addition, AJTC offers two children’s productions each year and runs a summer theatre day camp as well as a winter-break camp. (MP)
