JeRM Productions began funding and producing community theater at Georgetown University in the summer of 1993 when the University announced it would no longer fund a summer theater season because of financial constraints. In announcing its decision to stage the Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs musical Grease, JeRM decided to continue Georgetown's tradition of producing one large scale and lavish musical in July. Grease enjoyed a successful run and JeRM followed with productions of the musicals Anything Goes, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Evita.

In 1995, JeRM decided to add an original play to its summer schedule. The first of these, Holy Loch, was an adaptation of author Robert F. Mirvish's 1964 novel of the same title. Holy Loch was followed by And I Wish Campanella Wasn't Dead by L. Robert Griffin and All I Could Seeby Nancy Nilsson. JeRM also produced its own original cabaret at Georgetown University in the winter of 1995 and 1996.

OUR MUSICALS

Musicals have always been the cornerstone of JeRM's summer season, and JeRM has tried to offer a wide variety to the community at a reasonable price. Despite the large budget for each show, JeRM has tried to maintain ticket prices between $10 and $15

JeRM's musicals have won critical praise in the local press, and, recently, JeRM's production of Evita captured a Ruby Griffith award as First Runner-Up for best musical production at the annual British Embassy awards.

OUR PLAYS

In 1995, JeRM began devoting some of its resources to the production of new plays. Many of these were developed locally, at the Washington area'sPlaywrights Forum; however, JeRM accepts scripts from all over the United States and Canada. If you would like more information about submitting a script, please send us an e-mail or call the number above.

RECENT EVENTS

In 1998 JeRM Productions temporarily moved its community theater operations to the the Richard J. Ernst Community Cultural Center on the campus of the Northern Virginia Community College. As a result, JeRM only produced one large musical in 1998 --A Chorus Line. JeRM is scheduled to return to Georgetown in 1999.
