The New Jewish Theatre
May 3-20
A door slamming back stage farce, Jacob and Jack brings together the worlds of contemporary and Yiddish theatre. Jack Shore, a well-known television personality, is appearing for one night only in a tribute to his grandfather, Jacob Shemerinsky, great star of the Yiddish Theater. Backstage in his dressing room, Jack confronts his challenges as an actor - and as a husband to his co-starring wife. Simultaneously, 75 years in the past, Jacob has problems of his own. Actors play their past and present roles in a dizzying display in this time-traveling farce that is a smart and classic marital farce ingeniously complicated by historical layering and dual role-playing. From its Yiddish roots to its long obsession with Hollywood, it is a beguiling comic love letter to the American theater, and a clever tribute to Yiddish Theatre and to vain glorious stage actors.

10 Questions With... Nancy Lewis
It is a wonderful thing to be a part of the St. Louis theatre community. When Richard & I moved to St. Louis 10 yrs ago, there were hardly any professional theatre companies. The growth that has now become St. Louis theatre is remarkable and it is has been my pleasure to make a contribution - however small.
Since moving to St. Louis, I have worked with Orange Girls, New Jewish Theatre, Hot City Theatre , Mustard Seed, and Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. I have been a member of award winning ensembles...namely Going to See the Elephant and Women’s Minyan.
Thanks St. Louis!

10 Questions With... Donna Weinsting
Donna Weinsting is living her dream. As a little girl she always knew she wanted to be an actor, and now she has worked with most of the professional theatres in St. Louis. Performances are exciting and gratifying but the rehearsal process and feeling a production come together is equally thrilling. Theatre has provided personal satisfaction and a plethora of creative, talented friends for which she is eternally grateful. Donna has been nominated twice for a Kevin Kline Award for outstanding lead actress in a play, 'night, Mother for Stray Dog Theatre and From Door to Door for New Jewish Theatre.
