Host a Contest Event!
BE A PART OF THE CONTEST!
You can be a part of this incredible movement in Jewish art and identity by hosting a JPP Theater Chavurah!!
What is a Chavurah?
A chavurah (lit. “fellowship”) traditionally is a small group of like-minded Jews who gather together with a common purpose.
A JPP chavurah is a community gathering in which you and friends come together to read and discuss the best new Jewish plays of the year.
Your community selects the top three new Jewish plays in your area!
Your votes count towards the national Jewish Playwriting Contest winner, announced in June!
How does it work?
The JPP connects you with this year’s Jewish Playwriting Contest finalist plays.
You and your community read and evaluate these plays ahead of the chavurah.
Everyone at the chavurah discusses the plays and important, contemporary Jewish ideas.
You all vote on the top three new Jewish plays for your region.
Participation costs your organization only $360.
You will also (virtually!) invite at least 36 attendees to the national celebration in June, where they’ll see videos of the top three plays chosen nationally. (Tickets to this are $10 per person, ie. there is an ask of an additional $360; however, that is ideally raised through ticket sales to your community)
If your organization brings more than 36 attendees to the June celebration, you receive a portion of ticket sales.
What do you need to do?
Invite your community to the chavurah! Gather a group within your community who are excited to be some of the first people in the country to read these new Jewish plays. Four participants? Great! Fourteen? Also great!

Vote at the chavurah!
Attend the national celebration in June, with your community, to find out the winner!
