The Haifa Municipal Theater will bring to the American and Canadian Jewish and non-Jewish public a four-part program in English. “Voices from Israel,” reflecting the moods of modern Israel. The theater will conduct a six-week tour of 43 U.S. cities and university campuses beginning Feb. 27 in the YMHA in Clifton. N.J.
The program will include excerpts from four documentary plays: “The Seventh Day,” which deals with conversations with Israeli soldiers following the Six-Day War; “Co-Existence,” dealing with Jewish Arab relations; “Women of War,” which related the feelings of mothers and wives following the Yom Kippur War; and “Coming of Age,” which deals with the problem of aging. “Co-Existence” was written by Mohammed Watad, an Arab. The other plays were written by Yehoshua Sobel. The five-member cast is directed by Nola Chilton.
Community centers to be visited by the theater include New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, South and North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ottawa and Toronto. The tour of the Haifa Theater in the U.S. is being sponsored by the American Zionist Youth Foundation and the World Zionist Organization.
