Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alum and adjunct Avi Amon (Cycle 22) was named an inaugural fellow of The Workshop, sponsored by The Jewish Theological Seminary and founded by Program alum Kendell Pinkney.
THE WORKSHOP will support, nurture and develop professional artists and culture-makers who identify as JOCISM (Jews of Color, Jews of Indigenous backgrounds, and Jews of Sephardic and/or Mizrahi heritage). The four main components of the arts fellowship program are creative process (including presentation of works-in-progress/final works), leadership, Jewish text study, and one-on-one mentorship with industry professionals in theater, television, film, dance, music, and visual arts.
