Berkeley Rep originally presented Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin to sold-out houses in 2017. See it again, or see it for the first time in this special live-streamed event on Vimeo—a portion of the proceeds benefit Berkeley Rep. Experience some of America’s greatest songs in the context in which they were written! From “God Bless America,” to “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “White Christmas,” “Always,” and so many more…in a musical event that has been performed in theatres throughout the nation and abroad. Text Hershey your questions during the “encore” section and he’ll answer live, just as he does in the theatre!
