Diwan El Lajun Theatre
If you are interested in seeing co-existence in action, stop by Diwan El Lajun Theatre, a multicultural arts centre run by Gassan Abbass, a well-known actor and director. There are regular music and theatre performances as well as story telling workshops for both adults and children from mixed backgrounds. The theatre is always buzzing, thanks to a women's training program teaching puppet making and traditional Palestinian embroidery.
There's also a small café where performer Hanita-Carolin Hendelman will happily discuss upcoming events.

Doha Players Theatre
In existence for 50 years, Doha Players continue to stage productions, undeterred by the suicide attack of 2005 in which one person was killed and several were wounded. This was an isolated incident, however, precipitated it would seem by widely shared anger at the Western fiasco in Iraq. It is trying to raise funds to rebuild its own theatre.
