ASSEELEH, Our Hakawati (the storyteller:We consider Al-Hakawati as our first actor in our Arab and Palestinian civilization) makes his story in a very modern style using masks and puppets and modern technology in a very satirical and attractive way.  Yoya, A glove puppet show for children. In case it is performed in another language than Arabic, it can be provided with some text of that language and with a synopses or an explanation about the subject of the play. Zarief, This is also the name of its hero. He is the best Yarghool player in the  village and maybe in the whole world  (Yarghool: a special palestinian flute), but he is very poor  because it is so difficult to live  from art in this country.
Antar & Abla, Our story this time is about the handsome and brave black poet Antar, and the beautiful white Abla. Here is Mr. Hakawati (storyteller) preparing to start narration of his story about blacks and whites. Come, watch and listen. The Magician & the Hakawati
There is a queer looking box, very much like a magic box that contains a lot of imagination and magic. The famous Arab philosopher and doctor, Ibn Sina, returns to life from old history with the help of the storyteller, known as the Hakawati.
Dadi, A marionettes play that fits children up to seven years old. Its hero is a small baby who is trying to walk like others but he can`t, because of his age. 
Antar This is the story of the black Arab poet Antar who fought for the freedom of his people and for people discriminated against. This time our Hakawati (story teller) uses all visual and audio theatrical means in order to recount his story: He sings, dances, and uses colloquial modern poetry.  Ajloon, Ameer is trying to give excuses to his audience as to why he could not announce the start of this years ceremony called “Shajarat Addurr”(pearls tree) . Ameera, Ameer`s partner in directing the party has not arrived yet.. Ameer could not run the program alone, so he tells the audience that he has to go to look for Ameera.
