Testimonials

“It was a true privilege and pleasure to perform my Groucho show at The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington. The hospitality and professionalism were exceptional. It was a joyful experience for me, and — judging by the packed houses — I believe for our audiences as well. I’m proud to be associated with the theater and grateful to every member who honored the work, as well as to the community who came out to support it. The secret word is thanks.”

An Evening with Groucho

JTB is an incredible organization, woven for decades into the story of Bloomington's theatre history. The works are beautifully staged, directed, and acted with uncompromising quality and artistry. The shows are intimate and celebratory of the culture and rich theatrical tradition!

Krista Detor, Musician, Composer, & Writer

"JTB has a rich history of producing thought-provoking plays. It’s arguably more vital than ever that JTB continue to produce important work that explores the Jewish experience. We’re living through some of the most tumultuous times most of us have ever known, and JTB is a beacon of light and hope through them all. Some of my favorite acting and directing experiences have been JTB productions, and I’m honored to be a part of the company’s vibrant history. JTB has changed the world for the better."

THANK YOU FOR A SOLD OUT RUN!

We saw today’s closing performance of Your Name Means Dream. Without hyperbole - it was the best show we’ve ever seen, ANYWHERE. - Steve Scott

Under the careful direction of Martha Jacobs, both actors take characters that we would have issues with and make them strangely charming…Kilmer delivers an outstanding performance, never breaking character… we are grateful for the opportunity to experience this. - Plays with John & Wendy, Indianapolis reviewers

This production was the most professional - Broadway, West End - performance I have ever seen in Bloomington. It was beyond terrific! The performance was spell-binding and everyone associated with it is to be congratulated for a supreme show! Bravo to you and JTB for the terrific performance. - Bill Hays

Congratulations all around! Sensational show… you all continue putting on Broadway calibre, seamless and poignant productions. Bravo! -
