The Mishkan for the Performing Arts - Be'er Sheva is a prominent performing arts center distinguished by contemporary architecture combining warm-toned stone, metallic surfaces and large expanses of glass. The complex contains two principal auditoriums: a larger hall with 901 seats and a more intimate hall with approximately 426 seats, allowing it to accommodate theater, concerts, dance productions, opera and other stage performances. The venue is also home to the Be'er Sheva Theatre and the Israel Sinfonietta Be'er Sheva.
The interior was designed to bring audiences closer to the stage and preserve a sense of intimacy even in the larger auditorium. The main hall distributes seating across the stalls, balcony and boxes, while the more compact second hall creates a particularly immediate theatrical atmosphere. Spacious foyer areas connect the auditoriums and include box-office, exhibition and refreshment facilities, providing comfortable spaces for visitors before performances and during intervals.
The venue is located at Yitzhack I. Rager Blvd 41, Be'er Sheva, Israel. Visitors arriving by car can use the venue's parking facility as well as additional nearby parking, with a short pedestrian route leading to the main entrance. Bus stops on Rager Boulevard and nearby HaMeshahrerim Street also provide access within walking distance of the theater.
