BACK TO THE BOARDS
In 2024, Theatre Ariel returned to fully-realized, mainstage productions for the first time in 15 years! Our production of Amsterdam by Maya Arad Yasur played to sold-out houses and rave reviews! Now, we're continuing to claim our place in the spotlight of Philadelphia's cultural landscape. The rich narratives of our Salons combine with the excitement and
vitality of full-scale productions for a truly unique experience that inspires ever-increasing audiences. Join us in this exhilarating journey as we once again raise the curtain!

50% of American Jews identify with their Jewry through arts and culture. (Pew Study)
44% of Americans say they “know nothing” or “not much” about Jews and Judaism. (AJC)
36% increase in anti-Semitic acts from 2022 to 2023. (ADL)
Theatre Ariel believes in the power of
Jewish stories to:
- Deepen and strengthen Jewish identity
- Teach people of all backgrounds about the Jewish experience
- Help combat anti-Semitism
Help us reach our goal of $150,000 a year
for the next three years.
