Erez Drigues, the lead actor and co-creator of the Kan public broadcaster’s dramedy “Rehearsals,” has been accused of repeated instances of sexual harassment.
Kan announced last week that “Rehearsals” will go ahead with a second season, probably without Drigues.
Shortly after an in-depth profile of Drigues appeared in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper in January, Ofir Sgerski wrote a Facebook post describing the “sleazy” text messages that Drigues had sent her a few years back.
Then, last Wednesday, feminist news website Politically Koret ran a story (Hebrew) about Drigues, including interviews with four women who came forward describing instances of his sexual misconduct.

A spate of new plays commissioned from young Tel Aviv playwrights may be one way the beleaguered culture industry is fighting back against the strangling effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Over half a million shekels is being invested by the Tel Aviv municipality and the city’s four most established repertory theaters Habima Theater, Beit Lessin Theater, Gesher Theater and Cameri Theater to help develop works written by Tel Aviv residents who are under 40.

It’s been 10 months since anyone in Israel has been able to sit in a theater and laugh or cry at a tale acted out on stage.
You still can’t go out for a night at the opera, but a surprise hit TV show offers the next best thing: A backstage pass to all the drama that goes on when the curtains are down.
