A Home for Professional Sabbath Observant Artists
Even after theaters reopened from their COVID shut downs, the effects of social isolation have been acutely felt by senior citizens and those who are housebound. In response, 24/6: A Jewish Theater Company has commissioned a diverse group of 16 playwrights to write 10 minute plays to be performed over the telephone one-on-one by individual volunteers to individual senior citizens and others who are housebound and don't have easy access to the internet. We piloted the project with two social service organizations in Manhattan, the Jewish Community Council of Washington Heights & Inwood and the Center for Adults Living Well @ The YM&YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood.
We have now expanded the project via our partnership with DOROT's University Without Walls.
If your community has a social service agency aiding seniors that has volunteers who would be interested in performing
