T's Dec. 3 Holiday Issue

Highlights

  1. T’s Holiday Issue

    How Jewish People Built the American Theater

    It’s a history “based on the necessity of opening up and looking beyond, instead of suffocating in, the small space of the self — not only to avoid being pigeonholed but also to exercise the muscle of sympathy.”

     By

    This past summer, T invited dozens of Jewish actors, playwrights, songwriters and directors to join their collaborators and colleagues for a group portrait in New York, onstage at Broadway’s Lyceum Theater. When nearly 50 of them arrived on Sept. 11, 2023, it was all but impossible to get them to take their places as they sang songs, told jokes and shared stories of lives spent — together, joyously — in the theater.

  3. When Women Artists Choose Mothering Over Making Work

    Why does the act of stepping away from a creative vocation still have the power to shock?

    Accompanying this essay is a self-portrait, “Six Weeks Old” (2023), contributed exclusively to T by the London-based artist Caroline Walker. “I wanted to document this fleeting time in my life, and it was also a way of getting my head back into working,” she says. “Ink drawings were a very manageable medium for me in the early months with a new baby, as they can be started and finished in the short snippets of available studio time. If the baby starts crying, it only takes a minute to wash the brushes up and return to the job of motherhood.”
