What is Salon Theatre? JWT takes the tradition of Jewish women hosting salons to a new level.  Salon Theatre is a thematically driven evening of theatrical entertainment in which works of art and live performance are presented in intimate settings.  At-Homes Salon Theatre evenings may include: plays, poetry, music, humorous monologues, an adaption of literary material, fine art, and dance, followed by lively discussion...and, of course, food. This call is for Salon Evening 1: January 17 - February 1, 7:30 PM. Theme: TEMPTATION. A delicious and dangerous discovery of secrets of Jewish women in this sometimes shocking and mostly surprising show that will surely evoke laughter and tears, but most of all, remind you how seductive temptation can be. Directed by Susan Morgenstern. Extended Deadline for #StageOpps Readers Only: October 30, 2015* Salon Evening 2: March 6 - March 21, 7:30 PM, Theme: BEYOND JACOB'S LADDER Ripped from the pages of our sacred text and reimagined for the modern age, this hilarious and provocative show of newly commissioned pieces by top notch writers explores yearning, betrayal, and loss, and just might upend your preconceptions about how much modern women are cut from the same cloth as biblical women.  Directed by Eve Brandstein.  Underwritten with a generous gift from Lynne and Phil Himelstein. Extended Deadline for #StageOpps Readers Only: November 30, 2015* Salon Evening 3: May 15 - May 30, 7:30 PM.

Directed by Susan Morgenstern.  Produced by Suzanna Kaplan. Extended Deadline for #StageOpps Readers Only: December 31, 2015* We start our eighth season filled with gratitude. Our community has grown exponentially. NOT THAT JEWISH by Monica Piper sold out shows for 10 consecutive months and more than 10,000 people laughed and cried together!  JWT launched The Braid, our new performance and art space in Santa Monica, and we witnessed the blossoming of classes, art shows, performances and Shabbat services. Salons sold out.  While these statistics are impressive, our work is far from over.  Some might say, it is just beginning - developing new and important shows this season like ones exploring the stories of Russian-speaking Jews or Latina Jews.  And creating new commissions for full-length shows that delve into Jewish identity.  We are creating a legacy of stories that reflect our lives today.    *Please email specialoppscode@gmail.com for the special code to qualify for the extended deadline; then follow the submission guidelines: Submission Preference: Stories, one-acts, poems, songs all under 1500 words.
