What is the Virtual Museum of Jewish Theatre and Performing Arts?
The Virtual Museum of Jewish Theatre and Performing Arts website is currently in development. As the second phase of All About Jewish Theatre, it will host the largest repository of historical theatre documents and theatre works representing major trends in Jewish performing arts: Biblical performance and Purimspiels, Yiddish and Ladino, works from the ghetto and the camps in Nazi Europe, Jewish theatre in Arab countries, the American theatre and musical, modern Israeli Hebrew theatre, and the growth of contemporary Jewish theatres worldwide. In May 2008, the Virtual Museum was featured in Facing Tomorrow, President Shimon Peres’ first international conference in Jerusalem. It was selected to take part in the conference exhibition, displaying the 60 most exciting upcoming projects to be launched in Israel.
