Free Speech and events
Stretch your budget, by turning a play into an entire evening of entertainment. These free events at Berkeley Rep make it all possible.
free speech
We like theatre that inspires talk. With these and other enrichment programs, we invite you to do just that.
Liner notes
Delivered by email to your inbox the week before your performance, our popular pre-show liner notes are filled with insights about the play.
Pre-show presentations
Meet us in the Theatre an hour before your Tuesday or Thursday 8pm performance for an engrossing 30-minute presentation. Choose a Tuesday 8pm subscription series: B1, C1, D1, E1 or F1; or a Thursday 8pm subscription series: B3, C3, D3, E3 or F3.
Post-show discussions
Stick around after the performance for a lively Q & A with our artists. Choose series F1 (Tuesday 8pm), D3 (Thursday 8pm) or F4 (Friday 8pm).
Backstage blog
Sneak backstage with us! Berkeley Rep staff and cast update the blog regularly with the inside scoop on what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s a forum for you to ask questions and engage the actors, crew and fellow theatre-goers in conversation about the shows you’ve enjoyed at the Theatre. Join the conversation.
