Beit Zvi School for the Performing Arts

History

Beit Zvi is the country's first theater school not affiliated with an established theater.[2] It was founded by Haim Gamzu. Former director Gary Bilu established a theater for Beit Zvi graduates and mounted plays not put on by the repertory theaters.[1] The school's building was designed by Joseph Klarwein.

Beit Zvi offers a three-year program with an emphasis on acting in real productions.[1][2] Micah Lewensohn, appointed head of the school in 2009, is the former director of the Israel Festival.[1] Lewensohn plans to institute a BA degree and a program in television studies.[1]
