Actor Yossi Garber will be honored with a lifetime achievement award, and actor Shimon Lev Ari will receive a prize for his contribution to the Israeli theatre. 61 members of the academy have spent many nights at the theatre. There are two rounds of voting for the prizes: in the first round, four nominees are chosen in 19 different categories; in the second round, the members of the academy select a winner from these four, and vote for \u201cPlay of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n
