Ohel Theater
The Ohel Theater (founded in Tel Aviv in 1925 , League of Nations mandate for Palestine , today: Israel ) was an Israeli theater.
history
The Ohel-Theater (Ohel = tent) was founded by socialist-minded members of the Jewish trade union Histadrut who wanted to combine their acting with activities in agriculture or industry. For the reasons mentioned, the theater was organized as a cooperative . The founding director was Moshe Halevy , who had been one of the founders of the Habimah Jewish Theater in Moscow even before the First World War .
The theater remained the official theater of the Histadrut in 1958 and was then continued by private individuals until 1969. In the long term, it could no longer match the successes of earlier years.
