Abstract
This article offers a rereading of Theatre Workshop HaTikva Neighborhood's activity as a unique troupe in the field of community-based theatre in Israel. There are three interrelated factors that account for this group's distinctiveness: (1) it functioned as an independent theatre without public subsidies; (2) its repertoire shifted from a politics of distribution to a politics of recognition; (3) it underwent a transition from amateurism to professionalism. This is a rare status in relation to the common model of community-based theatre in Israel. The study explores these three factors within the theatrical and historical-political contexts of the period.
