Season 2008/09

Dear friends,

season plays

Yellowjackets

Joe Turner’s Come and Gone

The Arabian Nights

In the Next Room
(or the vibrator play)

Crime and Punishment

The Lieutenant of Inishmore

You, Nero

We’re thrilled to reveal our ambitious lineup for next season—one that’s filled with old friends and world premieres. It’s another adventurous year at Berkeley Rep.

I hope you’ll join us, and subscribing is the best way to ensure you’ve got seats. This has been particularly important in the past six months: as show after show extended, only subscribers had guaranteed tickets for sold-out performances of after the quake, Argonautika, Taking Over and Wishful Drinking.

Artists work at Berkeley Rep because of our audience—because of people like you. You provide a safe haven where the nation’s top talent can create courageous theatre and inspire transformation. In this election year, what could be more important?

I hope to see you at the Theatre,

Tony Taccone
