Berkeley Repertory Theatre

Berkeley Bucks Accepted Here!

 

Berkeley Repertory Theatre has grown from a storefront stage to an international leader in innovative theatre. Known for our ambition, relevance, and excellence, as well as our adventurous audience, our nonprofit has provided a welcoming home for artists since 1968. Over 6 million people have enjoyed more than 500 shows here, including over 85 world premieres. Berkeley Rep shows have gone on to win eight Tony Awards, nine Obie Awards, eleven Drama Desk Awards, one Grammy Award, one Pulitzer Prize, and many other honors. In recognition of its place on the national stage, Berkeley Rep received the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre in 1997. 

Through our annual seven-play season, together with up to four special event presentations, Berkeley Rep invites audiences to enjoy an eclectic range of theatrical experiences featuring diverse artistic voices, themes, and perspectives. To formalize, enhance, and expand the processes by which Berkeley Rep makes theatre, The Ground Floor: Berkeley Rep’s Center for the Creation and Development of New Work was launched in 2012. Serving some 20,000 people a year, Berkeley Rep’s School of Theatre ensures broad access to dynamic arts educational activities, especially for Bay Area youth, and provides immersive training for current and future theatre makers. In 2021, Berkeley Rep launched In Dialogue, a program that places our theatre-making skills and resources in service of the community. Using storytelling as an anchor, In Dialogue is developing long-term collaborations with local, socially centered organizations, as well as educating and activating our audiences around organizations whose work aligns with the themes of our productions. Berkeley Rep’s bustling facilities—which include the 600-seat Roda Theatre, the 400-seat Peet’s Theatre, The Medak Center, and a spacious campus in West Berkeley—are helping revitalize a renowned city.

Today, we invite you to experience the power of live theatre through stories that transport and entertain, connect us through a shared experience, and expand your view of the world. Join us and be part of an experience that will stay with you long after the curtain falls!
