Sarasota Jewish Theatre was founded to ensure that Jewish stories, values, history, humor, and experiences have a place on Sarasota’s stages.

Today, that mission is more important than ever. Professional Jewish theatres are increasingly rare, antisemitism is rising, and opportunities to experience Jewish stories through live theatre are limited.
Through professional productions, new works, educational programs, and community conversations, SJT brings Jewish stories to life for audiences of all backgrounds.

Ticket sales cover only a portion of what it costs to produce professional theatre. Philanthropic support makes the rest possible.

Your support helps SJT compensate artists and creative professionals, produce compelling theatre, develop new work, expand educational and community programming, and build a sustainable future for Jewish theatre in Sarasota.
