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.”

Frank Ferrante, Los Angeles

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."
