Activity 2

The berkeley rep school of theatre provides comprehensive arts experiences for students throughout the bay area each year. Through onsite classes and scholarships, student matinees, and free and deeply discounted arts education in-classroom residencies, berkeley rep ensures broad access to some of the bay area's finest teaching artists and productions. The berkeley rep school of theatre's 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.over the fiscal year, the berkeley rep school of theatre served 21,277 students through in-classroom programming, onsite classes, student matinees, teen night events, and the teen one acts. Our in-classroom programs for local schools and community centers in nine bay area counties provided 28,007 contact hours--over 50 percent of which were to title 1-funded schools. The school also offered 78 scholarships for its onsite programs totaling nearly $30,000 in program services. Over 250 bay area teens took part in nearly 6,000 contact hours of art and leadership training through the free teen council. Fourteen theatres across the country have instituted programs modeled on berkeley rep's teen council.

Activity 3

Berkeley rep also has the opportunity to offer special-event presentations to our audiences. Last year's hit wild bride returned for an encore performance at the beginning of the new year before it enjoyed a run off broadway at st. Anne's warehouse. And over the summer we introduced a new artist to bay area audiences: the award-winning hershey felder in his smash hit, george gershwin alone. The master entertainer and piano prodigy wowed audiences and critics alike, enjoyed extended performances, became a new audience favorite, and smashed box office records. At other times, berkeley rep opens its doors to organizations and individuals from the community for a wide range of events. In addition to our downtown campus, we also offered three new studios in the berkeley central building in downtown berkeley. With a 20-year lease on this 13,000-square-foot facility, berkeley rep is providing the studios at a subsidized rate to local nonprofits that do not have permanent homes of their own, such as the bay area children's theatre and ragged wing ensemble. Other organizations that annually use our main theatres include lawrence berkeley national labs, the jewish film festival, and the berkeley fire department, which holds its annual badge ceremony in berkeley reps theatre and courtyard. We are proud to forge partnerships with fellow nonprofits to continue transforming downtown into a destination for theatre lovers.
