Al-Midan Theater, Arabic theater in Haifa, Israel
Al-Midan Theater is a performance venue in Haifa with two halls designed for Arabic-language productions. The larger space holds roughly 290 seats while the smaller hall, dedicated to a noted director, accommodates about 100 guests.
The venue was founded in 1994 by Arab artists seeking to create a professional theater platform. After years of moving between locations, it finally settled in this permanent facility where it continues to operate today.
The theater presents performances only in Arabic, creating a space where Arab voices and stories take center stage. Audiences experience work created by and for Arabic-speaking communities.
The theater is located in the Migdal HaNeviim building in central Haifa and is easy to reach. Visitors should check ahead for the current performance schedule, as shows are presented in Arabic.
The organization began as a traveling ensemble moving between two cities before gaining its current permanent status. This mobile phase was formative in shaping how it operates as an established institution today.
