Al Midan Theater (Arabic: مسرح الميدان) is the Arabic-speaking theater in Haifa, Israel. ==History== The theater was founded in 1994 by the Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni during Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's government and with the assistant of then Haifa mayor Amram Mitzna, through the Council for Culture and Art in Haifa, by chairman Isaac Rubin and Ouriel Zohar who then chaired the Council's theater committee. At the beginning it was named "The Arab-Israeli theater", but after a few years it was renamed to its current name. The theater serves as the artistic community of Arabs in Israel. Productions of the theater run throughout the country. The theater consists two halls, one hall with 292 seats, and the second with 112 seats. The second hall is named after theater director Mazen Ghattas who died in 2005. In its early years the theater wandered between Nazareth and Haifa and eventually received a professional hall, 300 seats, at Migdal HaNeviim in Haifa. The theater runs plays only in the Arabic language,〔Except for one play staged in 2014〕 and employs fresh new Arab actors graduating from Israeli drama schools, along with well known first-class actors of Israel's Arab artists. The initial budget with the opening of the theater was four million Shekel, funded from the budget of the Israeli Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Haifa. Over the years, the share of budget from the Ministry of Culture had decreased, and the share of the municipality has increased. In March 2011, the theater announced it was in danger of closure, following a cumulative deficit due to the non-transfer of budget promised by former Culture Ministry Director Yoav Rosen.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Midan Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
