Activity 2

At the berkeley rep school of theatre, artists of all ages and abilities are offered the opportunity to experience the craft and artistry of theatre and to actively engage with their own creativity while making meaningful connections. The only requirement is an active mind open to imagination, collaboration, hard work, and lots of fun. Twenty theatre arts education programs served nearly 24,000 students. The berkeley rep school of theatre is committed to working with local schools to reinforce arts education as a community value and as an integral part of our cultural fabric. Free and low-cost dynamic workshops for elementary, middle, and high schools are offered in all nine bay area counties. Using theatre arts techniques that encourage teamwork and ensemble-building, outreach programs reinforce california state board of education content standards in the fields of english language arts, history-social science, mathematics, physical education, and visual and performing arts.

Activity 3

In the summer when our mainstage season is dark, berkeley rep has the opportunity to offer special-event performances to our audiences. Anna deavere smith's let me down easy, a stunning performance about the vulnerability of the human body, the resilience of the spirit, and the price of care, played as part of our limited season to packed houses and overwhelming critical praise. So we brought it back for an encore performance from august 10 to september 4. Earlier in the season, we welcomed the return of another hit show for the holidays, mary zimmerman's arabian nights. Both of these shows reached audiences well beyond our core group of subscribers and return single-ticket buyers. At other times, berkeley rep opens its doors to organizations and individuals from the community for a wide range of events. Various facilities and spaces are available throughout the year to accommodate events of all sizes and types, and non-profit rates are available for qualifying community organizations. Berkeley rep provided facilities to playwrights, lecturers from lawrence berkeley national labs, berkeley high school teachers, theatre bay area auditions and events, dance and other performance events. Each year berkeley rep has been one of the venues for the jewish film festival. The berkeley fire department holds its annual badge ceremony in berkeley rep's theatre and courtyard.
