Dvora Kedar will be honored with a lifetime achievement award. Entertaining and moving audiences in the many roles she has portrayed on stage and screen over the course of a long and prolific career, Kedar still graces the stage of Habima National Theatre, even as she approaches her 90th birthday. Uri Ofer, former Director of the Cameri Theatre and co-founder and Director of the Israeli Opera in its first decade, will be honored for his unique contribution and lasting imprint on Israeli theatre. Gesher Theatre and Habima Theatre withdrew from this year’s competition.<\/p>\n
