Our mandate:

 TEATRON Toronto Jewish theatre is a not for profit company established on May 12, 2002 to address the unique needs of the Jewish and the general community in Toronto as well as in other communities in Ontario.

TEATRON is more than just a theatre; it is a full programme designed to promote the Jewish tradition, history, philosophy and way of life, educating and promoting Jewish values to the entire community, particularly important in these days, when anti-Semitism and racism are again raising their ugly heads around the world.

TEATRON carefully selects its material and the way it is presented, exposing the participants to Jewish life in an accessible and thought provoking format.

TEATRON emphasizes new Canadian Jewish plays as well as establish contemporary plays and plays from the Yiddish theatre. Check our past seasons’ production by clicking  here

TEATRON’s programs encourage audience involvement through lectures and discussions with the cast and crew.

TEATRON’S outreach programs bring schools into the theatre for cooperative learning experiences that include learning about the Jewish experience as well as about the workings and history of theatre in general, and the Jewish theatre in particular.

TEATRON, by being a Shomer Shabbat theatre in Ontario, answers to another unique need in our community by making theatre accessible to all Jewish theatre artists.

A note: Some of our plays may contain language or scenes that may offend some, please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

What the media said about TEATRON:

     BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS received great reviews. Barbara Shainbaum of the Jewish Tribune wrote: "The impressive set by Ed Rosing, realistic period costumes by Adrienne Baker, the strong cast, and deeply-felt and well-paced direction by Ari Weisberg, made Brighton Beach Memoirs a theatrical success". Mark A Lawrence headed his review in the Mirror: "Young actors shine in 'Brighton Beach Memoirs'," referring to B.J. Jeroy as Eugene and Jordan Cohen as Stanley. He further wrote that "director Ari Weisberg has coaxed natural performances form these two young actors... and a nice balance between the drama and the comedy in this play, where ultimately the laughter wins out in one of Simon's most endearing plays."

  " TEATRON’s The God of Isaac is often hysterically funny and at times surreptitiously touching. The performers under Ari Weisberg's crisp direction keep the play moving at a quick and steady pace building to a correct yet surprising ending. Don't miss it!” The North York Mirror, Mark Andrew Lawrence      

      “It’s not often that a theatre production is able to do justice to a great novel and a great movie, but TEATRON Theatre’s production of The Chosen proves beyond a doubt that it can be done. Director and producer Ari Weisberg’s use of lighting and stage direction combine brilliantly to juxtapose the past and the future, as well as the orthodox and secular Jewish home.” Town Crier, Sandie Benitah.

       “Ari Weisberg has done an admirable job of directing The Chosen, making it a vivid and timely theatre piece. You don’t have to be Jewish or religious to enjoy the work. Sure there’s a spiritual quality to The Chosen, but it’s a universal one”. Jewish Tribune, Barbara Shainbaum.

      “An entertaining and thoughtful production… Director Ari Weisberg and the cast of The Sisters Rosensweig have given the play careful consideration. Each of the performers completely understands the motivations of their characters.” The Mirror, Mark A. Lawrence.
