Manager Noam Semel of the Habima Theater, together with the district-court trustees of the financially-recovering company, decided on Thursday, following the Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's announcement restricting the size of gatherings, that the national theater will be closed until April 30th.

All performances planned to be presented at the theater's home in Tel Aviv and throughout the country will be postponed until May, June and July. All actors and employees of the stage will receive financial backing from the Bituach Leumi National Insurance Institute, as most of them are all employees of the theater.
