It has been described by the New York Times as offering "professional polish, thoughtful dramaturgy and nervy experimentation," [2] and by [Hadassah] Magazine as " one of the most successful and avant-garde" of contemporary American Jewish theatres. [3]


Theater J is particularly known for its record of premiering important new drama. The New York Times called Theater J "The Premier Theater for Premieres."
