The 2010 – 2011 Stage Awards for Children and Youth were presented on August 22, 2011 at the Givatayim Theatre. The ceremony was written and directed by Dana Dvorin, with musical direction and arrangements by Amir Peri and Ben Zaidman. Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport Limor Livnat commended all those engaged creating quality theatre for young audiences, and Israel Assitej President Razi Amitai delivered his greetings. Host Yuval Stunis opened with a sweetly magical children’s song – “If I Could be a Magician” and accompanied by the cheerful energies of real children onstage, Stunis set the tone for a fun, light-hearted evening. A zippy pace and comic scenes introduced each award, making sure that the audience had a good time.
