The Play Is The Thing!



The OLDER BUT WISER Writers of Rose Schnitzer Manor have completed their one-act plays!


We are proud to announce the premiere of these plays on August 14th (SUNDAY), The curtain goes up at 4pm. Doors open at 3:45. The plays should conclude by 5:30pm


These plays will be directed by well known local playwright and director, Matthew Zrebski and will feature local professional actors who will read each play.


Admission is free, however we are asking for a donation of $10 to help pay the bills!


A portion of this event is sponsored by the Oregon Arts Commission and a portion by the Portland chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women. The Mittleman Jewish Community Center has also been a generous supporter of all JAM events.

Surprised to see a JAM event in August? The writers began their work this spring, but illness and other commitments disrupted our plans....so who says we can't JAM a little in the summer?


Join us please!
