Visited the theatre to see a Habima play, so can't comment on the Haifa Theatre troupe. As far as the infrastructure is concerned, the stage is sufficiently big, the auditorium sufficiently large, visibility and acoustics are good. Air conditioning is adequate. Interior reflects historic design.
However, there is no parking near the theatre. The theatre's own parking is expensive, awkwardly constructed, too small for the number of cars arriving, and the line to get out after the show is very long. In addition, there was a very long line to get to either the lift or the stairs that lead to the parking. The stairs are filthy and unkempt. The paving outside the theatre is such that stiletto heels get stuck between paving stones.
