Shams Zaher — Vision and Leadership
Founder and CEO
“Theater is not entertainment — it is a tool for change.”
Shams Zaher, a resident of Isfiya, founded Al Shams Theater in 2019 with one vision: to harness the power of theater for healing, education and connection between people. The path was not short. Shams studied theater and political science at the University of Haifa, went on to a master's degree in educational management, and alongside that completed a master's degree in drama therapy and a teaching certificate in theater — also at the University of Haifa. He completed his therapeutic training in a 3-year psychotherapy program at Oranim College.
