AL-HARAH Theater aims to produce theatre that is well crafted yet moving, challenging yet accessible and, essentially, honest.  We believe that theatre that has the potential to change the lives of those who make it and those who watch it.  Our mission is to promote a high dramatic standard whilst remaining accessible, and through both our performances and our educational work we hope to bring compelling stories, in one of the last uncensored spaces, to audiences throughout Palestine, the Arab world and beyond.

AL-HARAH Theater is working towards creating the first drama school in Palestine.  Through producing and promoting theatre arts in Palestine, we are assisting in building and maintaining a civil society that emphasizes human rights, democracy and pluralism.
AL-HARAH Theater, established in 2005, is a non-profit organization based in Beit Jala, Bethlehem.  We chose the name AL-HARAH, 'The Neighborhood, because it represents a place that is both intimate and full of people; a place full of relationships between both young and old, men and women.
