"The Whipping Man [is] a rare treat... a riveting drama in which every element of the production was top notch... a powerful night at the theater that won't soon be forgotten – and an impressive start to the new season!"
- Donald V. Calamia, Encore Michigan
Imagining Madoff is an "intriguing rumination about the biggest swindle in history."
- Martin F. Kohn, Encore Michigan
God of Carnage, Yasmina Reza's "sizzling comedy, heats up The Jewish Ensemble Theatre these cold winter days,"
- John Quinn, Between the Lines
"(JET's) Race is well-acted, cynical yet enlightening portrayal of the pervasive nature of prejudice. It is a satisfying and thought-provoking experience, especially for those who enjoy having something to talk about on the way home from the theatre."
- Ronelle Grier, Jewish News
WHAT CRITICS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR 11-12 SEASON:

WHAT CRITICS HAVE HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR 12-13 SEASON:
“Jewish Ensemble Theatre’s season opener, Moonlight and Magnolias, takes us behind the scenes of the classic film Gone with the Wind, where the characters who created the epic blockbuster are as fascinating as those depicted on screen.”
-Ronelle Grier, Jewish News
Written and performed by: Nancy Redman
CLUTTER: I’m Saving My Life and It’s Killing Me
“Ultimately, to its great credit, this production's biggest strength is its ensemble. It takes just the right blend of people to work this splendidly together, and the result is creative magic, both here and in the context of the play. To work in an atmosphere as special as the one in "Laughter" is rare enough; to recognize it, accurately memorialize it, and do it justice in the retelling are wholly other feats – all of which are handily achieved here, each more remarkable than the last.”
-Carolyn Hayes, Encore Michigan
OUR SEASON:
“a living comparison of the social conventions of the past and the idiosyncratic constant of the contemporary, in a revival of the musical I Do! I Do!... And they do it all with two actors, one piano, 20 songs, one set and many, many costume changes. The number of hats, gloves, tuxedos, dresses, accessories and shoes is too high to count.”
-Vivian DeGain, The Oakland Press
One night runs you may have missed!
“The six-person cast, led by Carol Lempert, beautifully channels the excitement that the scientists felt while trying to unlock what they call the "secret of life itself.”
-John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
“A teenager in an Elvis outfit and a mom who converses with Jesus Christ in her living room are just two of the inhabitants of End Days, a self-consciously quirky and sometimes moving tale of a family stuck between the tragedy of 9/11 and the apocalypse promised by the Bible's Book of Revelation.”
-John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
