page to stage

Every season, Berkeley Rep hosts Page to Stage, a series of free discussions with eminent theatre artists, designed to give audiences additional insight into the plays and playwrights produced at Berkeley Rep. Past programs have featured theatre luminaries such as David Edgar, Sarah Jones, Tony Kushner, Delroy Lindo, Donald Margulies, Terrence McNally, Charles Mee, Rita Moreno, Salman Rushdie and the Chicano performance trio Culture Clash. The discussion series is sponsored by Peet’s Coffee and Tea.

Each talk starts at 7PM; doors open at 6:45PM for general-admission seating. No tickets are necessary for these free events, but seating is limited. At every event Peet’s offers a free coffee tasting for the audience before and after each lecture. Donors who have given $250 or more to Berkeley Rep enjoy an exclusive post-talk reception with each guest. For more information, call 510.647.2949.

Please check back for dates for the 2008/09 Season.

30-below

There are a lot of reasons it’s great to be under 30. Less wrinkles, more sleep and higher metabolism, to name a few. But there are also a lot of reasons it sucks to be in your 20s—and tight finances tops the list. Need a pick-me-up? Come to Berkeley Rep. If you’re less than 30 years old, you enjoy half-price tickets for nearly every performance.

And, if you select any of the below performances, you’ll also get to attend 30-Below, the coolest theatre after-party for people in their 20s. Free food and drinks, live music and more. It’s a great place to hang out with friends—or maybe make a few new ones. And better yet, it’s free with your ticket.
