This is so exciting! When we first founded our professional theater years ago we discovered there wasn't as much quality English-language theater available in Israel as we would have expected. Over the years we have found a growth of local community theater and even local professional productions in English, and it's wonderful! We've been running our own unique brand of dramatic workshops and are constantly amazed at how they affect participants immediately and long-term, from discovering one's level of self-discipline to newfound creativity to a heightened sense of empowerment. We're very excited to see that now more types of workshops are being offered. It's really great that teachers, students, and the Israeli public in general now has a variety of English-language programs and productions to choose from. Hooray for the English language in the arts!
