If you've been coming to AJTC for awhile, you've enjoyed many of James Sherman's witty plays - Beau Jest, Jest a Second, Door to Door, The Old Man's Friend, and many others. James has a remarkable ear for dialogue and a deep understanding of the contemporary Jewish families he captures in his works.
An intriguing look at gender politics and how sexual roles have changed through the decades. The first Half of the play takes place in the 1970's, during the start of the feminist movement - the second Half is contemporary and gives us a view of where all that freedom has landed today's woman!

Arizona Jewish Theatre Company Has A New Home!
AJTC feels fortunate to have entered into a 3-year facilities agreement with Paradise Valley Community College to perform at the Center for the Performing Arts. PVCC’s $6 million, 25,000 square foot Center for the Performing Arts opened October 13, 2005. A fully professional,
multi-use theater, the beautiful facility seats
nearly 300 patrons and incorporates a
25-musician orchestra pit, a full fly system,
comfortable dressing rooms for up to 30
actors, as well as state-of-the-art lighting,
sound and audio/visual systems. The
auditorium has comfortable seats, is
climate controlled and offers 10 infra-red
hearing devices.
The theater’s 1000 square foot lobby
contains a box office and concession
counter and also functions as an art
gallery. Just outside the building is a new
outdoor amphitheatre, which will be used
for a variety of concerts and programs.
The CPA sits on the east end of the
campus, off 34th street, just south of
Union Hills. The facility is easy to reach by the 51 or the Loop 101. There is
ample parking, including handicapped
spots, within 25-100 feet from the door.
The performing arts community at PVCC
is excited about the new arrangement too.
“PVCC students will have a professional
theatre company in residence from whom
they can learn and gain invaluable
experience,” states Dr. Christopher
Scinto, division chair of PVCC’s Fine
and Performing Arts Department.
Ultimately the biggest beneficiary of
AJTC’s new home will be the Northeast
Valley itself. “The community will benefit
by having access to professional theatre
in their own backyard,” Scinto said.
