http://imjm.ca/location/1669 Museum of Jewish Montreal: Chayale (or Khayele) Grober (1905-1964) was an actress, theatre director, and acting teacher who left a distinct mark on Montreal’s theatre scene. Of Russian origin, she trained with the famous Russian actor and director Yevgeny Vakhtangov at the Stanislavsky School in Moscow. She joined the Hebrew-language theatre troupe Habimah and participated in its North American tour, which allowed her to visit Montreal for the first time in 1930. An acclaimed performer, she would continue to travel the world for several years.

In her Bleury Street studio, she produced plays and taught theatre to young Jewish Montrealers using the Stanislavsky method. A number of influential artists supported her in this venture, including the painter Alexandre Bercovitch and the dancer John Erskine-Jones. YTEG’s successful shows included its 1941 production of Tshvishen Tsvey Berg (Between Two Mountains) by I. L. Peretz | Grober directed other theatre companies as well, including the Habimah Ensemble, which staged a popular retrospective of the work of Sholem Aleichem in the 1950s, and the Hillel Players of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation.
