- History / Biographical
- The Jewish Stage Players began as a new theatre group in 1949. Their aims were “to provide professional instruction and direction to the group as a whole. Tuition is provided by a professional teacher director so that all may benefit from the many phases of stage production”. Their first presentation was Spring Song by Bella and Samuel Spewack in 1950 followed by The Family Upstairs by Harry Delf in 1951. W. A. (Bill) Atkinson was the Director. Without Atkinson, the Jewish Stage Players could never have put on the professional plays.
