    Gesher Theatre (founded in 1991), is situated in a beautiful old building on Jerusalem Blvd in Jaffa, comprises mostly new immigrants from Russia, and is now regarded as an inseparable part of Israeli culture. Yevgeny Arye, Gesher Theatre’s Founder and Artistic Director, was a reputable and successful stage and screen director in Moscow, laureate of many prizes in Russia and elsewhere. Gesher Theatre is one of the only bi-lingual theatres in the world, performing with the same troupe in Russian and in Hebrew alternately. Nowadays most of the productions are staged in Hebrew. The unique quality of the theatre may also be attributed to its artistic conception, which combines the principles of traditional Russian theatre with an original and innovative approach.
