Founded in 1990, Theatre Ariel is Pennsylvania's only professional theater dedicated to illuminating the rich, social, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the Jewish people. We believe that Jewish theater strengthens Jewish identity while also serving as a bridge between people of all cultures. Theatre Ariel produces and commissions work that serves as a prism through which we can view the varied colors of the American Jewish experience. Our writers also create theater that draws its inspiration from ancient stories, bringing contemporary insight to classic Jewish texts: reflecting on the past, examining the present, and envisioning the future.
