    The Khan Theatre is the only producing repertoire-theatre in Jerusalem today and is considered to be one of the leading theatres in the country. The theatre produces 3-4 new shows annually. The repertoire is selected by artistic director Michael Gurevitch, who also writes and directs some of the theatre’s shows. Michael Gurevitch’s works set the Khan Theatre apart because of the special creative process: rehearsals begin without a play, without knowing what the day will bring. All along the way the director and the actors form the story they are working on. They use different exercises, improvisations, brain storming and theatre games. At a certain stage the Set, Costume and Lighting designers and the musician come in to do their job. This is the Khan Theatre’s way of creating a performance as lively as possible, born of the unique encounter between these certain actors and this certain playwright and director at a given time. It is lengthy rehearsal process in which the play and the show are transformed many times. The unique building, the magical garden and the atmosphere of the place dictate an intimate and direct relationship with the audience.
