The child theatre in Beersheba is the first one that works in the Negev and gives an artistic answer to a public of children from the ages of 6-18.
A local, creative theatre, that doesn’t compromise on the quality and is used as an enrichment tool for southern children’s cultural aspects and turns into a leading cultural epicenter on a local and countrywide level. The plays of the theater are praised by the critics, prize winners and approved by the ministry of culture. The theatre runs it’s plays from Eilat to Kiryat Shemona. In addition to the value and artistic activity, the theatre also provides job opportunities for actors and creators that wish to live in the Negev and has a major role at the local development, a positive impact on the younger generation and prosperity at the cultural and leisure field, which strengthens the entire local population.
Establishing a children and youth theatre holds the aspiration to develop local creation of cultural, educational and high-quality contents. This venture is so important, because it’s one of a kind and cannot be found elsewhere, and it spreads the word from the Negev to the entire country. The theatre has a direct influence on the development of children’s inner world by creating stimulations that lead to independent thinking and by giving them a set of valuable tools for dealing with conflicts.
The children’s theatre of Beersheba believes that creating plays that express a visual, sentimental and valuable experience is the best way to encourage and nurture the next generation of culture consumers in Israel. The activities of the theatre include performances, plays, theatre workshops for kids, cultural events and enrichment activities for the entire community.
