2007-2008 Season
A GLIMPSE OF THE LIGHT
A Musical by Ben FinnDirected by Ari Weisberg
November 12 to 23, 2008 At the Leah Posluns Theatre
A love story spanning the events leading to the birth of Israel, from illegal immigration to life on a Kibbutz.
"A momentous story... a musical big in vision and scope." - Newsday
"A moving and exhilarating experience, with a beautiful score that tugs on your heartstrings." - Jewish Week
THE DYBBUK
The Classical Drama by S AnskiDirected by Ari Weisberg
THE DYBBUK is a love story of a different kind, where other-worldly forces are at work in a simple village in Eastern Europe. This romantic drama, born in the Yiddish Theatre, has transcended its cultural context to become a classic of modern Jewish theatre.
What the media said about TEATRON:
"TEATRON’s The God of Isaac is often hysterically funny and at times surreptitiously touching. The performers under Ari Weisberg's crisp direction keep the play moving at a quick and steady pace building to a correct yet surprising ending. Don't miss it!"
- The North York Mirror, Mark Andrew Lawrence
"It’s not often that a theatre production is able to do justice to a great novel and a great movie, but TEATRON Theatre’s production of The Chosen proves beyond a doubt that it can be done. Director and producer Ari Weisberg’s use of lighting and stage direction combine brilliantly to juxtapose the past and the future, as well as the orthodox and secular Jewish home."
- Town Crier, Sandie Benitah
"Ari Weisberg has done an admirable job of directing The Chosen, 
making it a vivid and timely theatre piece. You don’t have to be Jewish or religious to enjoy the work. Sure there’s a spiritual quality to The Chosen, but it’s a universal one"
-
Jewish Tribune, Barbara Shainbaum
"An entertaining and thoughtful production… Director Ari Weisberg and the cast of The Sisters Rosensweig have given the play careful consideration. Each of the performers completely understands the motivations of their characters."
- The Mirror, Mark A. Lawrence.
