Nominees for the Israeli Theatre prizes took some time out to enjoy the Friday afternoon sunshine at Hamizraka Caf\u00e9 at the Ruth Daniel Residence in Jaffa. It is a tradition of the awards to gather all the nominees together for a celebratory brunch before the ceremonies. Producers Haim Sela and Itamar Gourvitch addressed the group with advice both practical and inspirational, and there were smiles all around in the relaxed atmosphere of the gathering.<\/p>\n

The awards ceremony will take place at Gesher Theatre on Friday, May 13, 2011. MC for the event will be actor\/director Yaron Brovinsky.<\/p>\n
