Jerusalem is home to many English-language theater groups, run by volunteers whose immigrant pasts allow for a unique commentary on local issues and identity. During Passover 2010, Beit Avi Chai will spotlight this thriving subculture through three days that showcase the finest English-language drama Jerusalem has to offer.
The Keys to the City
