CIAC Presents: Managing Diversity in Israeli Theater

Description

Please join us for a conversation with acclaimed theater professionals Sinai Peter and Amir Peter, live via Zoom from Israel. CIAC advisory committee member Hedy Milgrom will interview Sinai and Amir Peter about the challenges they are facing post-October 7 in a diverse theater community.

In the wake of the October 7, 2023 terror attacks in Israel, the entire country has been reeling from direct and unintended consequences. One such is the reduction of opportunities for individuals and institutions in the creative arts community.

“CIAC Presents” is an initiative that will support Israeli artists during this time of limited opportunities. It will allow artists to discuss and share their work, strengthening the connection between Israeli artists and the Cleveland community during times of crisis.
