Founded in the early 80’s as a modest cultural club of the Histadrut – Israel’s Workers’ Union – today Beit Lessin is the country’s 2nd largest reperatory theatre. Named after an almost forgotten Yiddish author, Beit Lessis is the most amazing success-story in the Israeli theatre scene over the past decade, with its yearly 10 new premieres, over 30,000 devoted subscribers in Tel-Aviv alone, and hundreds of performances throughout the country.
