Eilad Theater: Artistic Oasis for…

Oct32022

Quote: “I think that in the South you’re clean,” Boaz Dan told The Jerusalem Post when asked about the difference between the theater scene in central Israel vs the periphery. “You don’t have traffic jams, you don’t need to work as a bartender [on top of your acting job]. [Actors] have the time. The rehearsal [space] is 15 steps from your house. The time that we use for creativity and to develop the show is 100% of the time”
The Jerusalem Post

NAME THAT ISRAELI

This Jew died in 1923, so strictly speaking he was not an Israeli; however, he was instrumental in the eventual establishment of Israel. On hearing Theodore Herzl’s plans for creating a Jewish state, he is said to have declared, “If you are insane, we are insane together. Count on me!” Herzl and he are credited with founding the modern Zionist movement. A thoroughfare in Tel Aviv is named after him.

Can you name him?
