From the press
"The Arab -Hebrew theater is an institute which is set to pursue its own unique way. It presents materials which enable a sensitive response,reflective and nonconfrentational The endearing spirit of innocence is the key to the special charm of the small theater in Jaffa, a place where the cruel reality is moved aside for a moment to make place for a sort of delicate dream of a reconciled and bubbling co - existence."
(Shay Bar Yaacov - Yediot Aharonot, May 2006)
"The sole isle of sanity in the Israeli theatrical landscape, a place where a true and deep dialogue between two cultures; Hebrew and Arab, takes place. This is not a fraudulent attempt to prove coexistence, but a true effort to create a stage of equality for the two cultures."
(Ofira Henig – HaAretz, May 2003)
