Next to Theatre J, Theatre Or has produced more American premieres of Israeli plays and plays about Israel than any other American theatre company, and has presented these plays in North Carolina, Chicago, New York, and now Denver. In North Carolina, the Independent Weekly awarded Theatre Or’s Voices from the Holy Land Festival of Staged Readings of Cutting Edge Plays from Israel four and a half stars along with a citation for Special Achievement in the Humanities that “recognizes work that goes well beyond the traditional definitions of community outreach.” Diane is a former member of the executive committee of the Association for Jewish Theatres, where she held the position of secretary for two terms. Theatre Or also produces other plays with Jewish interest and universal appeal.
