Popis: This paper describes two attempts of preparing Arab junior high school pupils to perform on the stage by Arab female student teachers who are pursuing their teaching practice in traditional Arab classrooms in the center of Israel. Following the pedagogical adviser's initiative, the student teachers trained two groups of junior high school pupils to perform a play and an episode of another one on the stage: Joseph and The Lion King. At the beginning, the trainees didn't show enthusiasm. In fact, they were reluctant to participate claiming that the pupils won't learn their roles, or they won't be serious enough. They might be shy to perform on the stage wearing special clothes. However, when they started the rehearsal, they were more than eager to follow the pupils' performance. They even concluded that the experience was exciting and satisfying, yet it is not easy to copy it and to try it.
