The Dramatists Guild of America has come out in strong support of a controversial Israeli play to be performed at Washington D.C.’s Theatre J, which is partially funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington.
Anti-Israel sentiment sets me on edge, as it did with Theater J’s plan to stage ‘The Admission.’ But without seeing the play for myself, how could I know it was guilty?
A small group seeks to force Theater J, a Washington D.C. cultural treasure, to toe its line on Israel. That’s McCarthyism, pure and simple, David Y. Chack writes.
