St. Louis Post-Dispatch theater critic Judith Newmark will discuss “The American Theatre and the Jews Who Make it Happen” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 30 at the Saul Brodsky Jewish Community Library, located in the Jewish Federation Kopolow Building, 12 Millstone Campus Drive.

She will discuss the significant role of Jews both onstage and off.

Newmark is the author of “The Muny: Songs of St. Louis Summers.” A graduate of University City High School and Bryn Mawr College, she lives in Creve Coeur with her husband, Michael. Their daughters, Jordan and Eden, are alumnae of Solomon Schechter Day School (now the Saul Mirowitz Jewish Community School). After 17 years, Newmark says she still can’t believe that she gets to go to the theater for a living.  

Admission to the talk is $7 per person; free to Friends of the Library. RSVPs required by July 29.
