SETTLEMENTS By Seth Rozin
When the resident theatre at a Jewish Community Center commissions a new play about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a half-Jewish/half-Jordanian playwright, the Center finds itself pulled in several directions. The playwright was sent on a trip to Israel and came back with a story that only explored one side of the westbank conflict. The playwright's narrative, told to them by a palestian family. Questioning the premise of the story and the balance of it becomes a point of conflict within the organization. One of the Centers major donors, the Centers Board President, the theatres Artistic Director and the playwright each fight for a different outcome, while the Centers Executive Director tries to keep the institution from falling off its foundation. SETTLEMENTS examines conflicts inside the Jewish community, radicalization of young people's thoughts on the Israeli-Palestian conflict and how existing Jewish instutions are coping with these new realities.

About the Quarantine Players
When we started, there was no template for creating theater over the internet, which turned out to be perfect because we could remove all the obstacles that held us back.
At the time, we didn’t know what zoom was or how we could use it. Would people even know how to use it? How much would it cost? And what the heck is a virtual background? We had so many questions, but we watched all of our productions canceled in those horrible first days of Spring 2020.
We didn’t have to create a “season” of plays; we could choose any plays we wanted to do. It gave us a kind of freedom. We choose the plays, cast the roles, then we find an audience. We can create theater for a specific audience, for example, 25 -30-year-old parents in Des Moines, Iowa. We can do that.
Join us every week for a new play.
