Masrah Al Madina, the Hamra theatre founded by actress Nidal Al Achkar, hosting plays, festivals, screenings and workshops.<\/em><\/p>\n

Actress and director Nidal Al Achkar founded Al Madina Theatre in 1994 in the old Clemenceau cinema. In March 2005 it moved to Hamra Street, into the renovated Saroulla cinema, and took the form of the Al Madina Theatre Association for Arts and Culture. The program is broad: plays in Arabic, including adaptations of Shakespeare and Cervantes, festivals, exhibitions, a cin\u00e9-club, conferences, book signings and workshops for writers, filmmakers, dancers and students. More recently, a smaller space called Fada al-Madina opened alongside it, backed by the Foundation for Arab Dramatic Arts, with a 110-seat theatre, rehearsal rooms and a caf\u00e9 meant to give younger artists an affordable place to work.<\/p>\n
