About

A home that became a stage

Homemade Theater should feel like entering a house, not browsing a polished arts center.

Homemade Theater started in 2016 when Chadi El Haber turned a flat in an old Beirut building near Furn El Chebbak into a small, warm theatre space.

It is not only a theatre company. It is a school, house, rehearsal room, archive, and community where people train to speak, move, remember, and transform.

The site is built around that feeling: an old wall, a warm lamp, chairs, paper notes, fear, laughter, and people becoming braver.

A school, a house, a rehearsal room, an archive, and a community.

    Public reporting described the training project as a place where long workshop cycles become real performances.

  3. Today

    A school, archive, rehearsal room, and community

    The website treats Homemade Theater as more than a venue: a house where people rehearse voice, body, memory, and courage.

Texture, memory, room
