The nearly two-year interruption in theater production caused by the pandemic has brought about a great reckoning in the American theater. Artists and producers are creating theater with heightened urgency, laser-focused on issues of representation and social justice. We’ll discuss big trends in the theater, from shifts in Broadway musicals to Jewish playwriting to how non-profit theaters are recovering.

JASON LOEWITH grew up in Fairfield, CT, about 60 miles from New York City, and took the train in on weekends with his family to see shows every few months. He went from Brown
University in Rhode Island to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and finally to the Washington, DC region, where he’s been for more than a decade. Professionally he’s worked with a lot of famous and infamous people, directed some forty-odd plays, written a handful, managed or produced hundreds of them, and done just about every job there is to do in a theater. He lives in Carderock Springs with his husband Ned and his dogs Mortimer and Eliza in a mid-century modern home that’s majority-owned by Sandy Spring Bank. Jason has been the Artistic Director of Olney Theatre Center since 2013.
