Beit Lessin Theater
Beit Lessin Theater (Hebrew: תיאטרון בית ליסין, translit: Teatron Bet Lessin) is a theater in Tel Aviv, Israel.
History
[edit | edit source]The theater was established in 1980 by Yaakov Agmon for the Histadrut.[1]
Over the years the theater has shown over a thousand contemporary American and European plays, as well as original productions. In 1993, Tzipi Pines started managing the theater. It was separated from the Histadrut and started showing mostly original Israeli material reflecting the political and social situation in Israel.
In 2003, the theater moved from Lessin House to the old residence of the Cameri Theater after it was remodeled. This venue having more seats allowed larger and more expensive plays to be produced, such as Chicago and Guys and Dolls.
The theater's production "Mikveh" won the Israeli Theater Prize in 2005.[citation needed]
In 2020, the theater hosted the finish for HaMerotz LaMillion 8.[2]
