Jerusalem theatre

The Jerusalem Theatre, Israel's center for art and culture,

is located in the heart of the capital's Talbieh neighborhood, near the Presidential Residence.

Established in 1971 at the initiative of Miles M and Gita Sherover and then-Mayor Teddy Kollek, it was designed by architect Michael Nadler.

The Theatre's structure houses six halls: the Sherover Theatre, seats 970; the Henry Crown Hall seats 760; the Rebecca Crown Hall seats 452; the Little Theatre seats 117; the Studio seats 250 and the recently opened Micro-Theatre 141 seats.

There is a restaurant, a book, and music shop, with foyers presenting alternating art exhibitions.

Facilities feature access for the disabled and include an assistive listening system for the hearing-impaired.

Annually, more than 600,000 visitors-including 30,000 subscribers, children, teenagers,

adults and senior citizens- attend theatre, dance, music, first-run film performances,

Israeli entertainment, festivals, and exhibitions at the Theatre.
