Jerusalem Theater, Performing arts center in Talbieh, Israel

Jerusalem Theater is a performance venue with multiple halls designed for different types of shows and events. The building includes spaces for concerts, theatrical productions, and film screenings alongside cafes and rotating exhibition areas.

In 1958 the municipality, under Mordechai Ish Shalom, held a design competition for a theatre on 11 dunams at Talbiya's southern edge; Michael and Shulamit Nadler and Shmuel Bixson won. The cornerstone was laid in October 1964, but disputes and budget problems delayed work, and critics predicted a "white elephant." The building opened in October 1971 with the 970-seat Sherover Theatre. A Crown family-funded wing with three more halls opened in February 1986.

The complex hosts the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and, since early 2016, the East West Jerusalem Orchestra. Its stages carry the annual "Lifting the Curtain" festival for independent choreographers, and the Mikro Theatre, a veteran Jerusalem troupe, performs there regularly. Changing art exhibitions hang in the foyers and arcades.

The complex sits on a public square on the southern edge of Talbiya, near the President's Residence. A parking garage for about 600 cars opened in June 2023 on Shopen Street at the corner of Yaakov Shaskin Street, south of the theatre, linked to the theatre plaza by elevator and a pedestrian bridge. Changing art exhibits hang in the foyers and arcades.

Sculptor Yechiel Shemi was commissioned by donor Miles Sherover to create three large concrete sculptures for the complex: one in the plaza, a relief above the main entrance, and one inside the main portico. More Shemi works were added to the Crown wing facade and its internal staircase.
