Berkeley Rep’s Resilience Campaign

Like many arts organizations, Berkeley Rep is feeling the significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 100 performances canceled and reduced capacity for classes offered through our School of Theatre, we are relying on donations from our community more than ever to ensure we’ll be ready to bring unforgettable live theatre to our audiences as soon as it is safe to do so.

We hope that as a valued member of this community you believe in the restorative role that art can play in moments of crisis and know that when we are able to gather together again we will be looking to the art on our stages to help us envision a new path forward.

If you have the means to make a gift of any size, know that it will go a long way towards helping the Theatre weather the challenges of the months to come.

Your donation today is an investment in our future and will ensure that we will be ready to welcome you through our doors when this crisis is over.

What your gift supports NOW

• Health care coverage for our reduced staff and furloughed workforce.
• Offset production costs from canceled productions and loss of ticket revenue.
• Support for the months of planning needed to prepare for next season.
• Virtual play reading groups, artist conversations, and classes that connect audiences to theatre from afar.
• Taking the annual Teen One-Acts Festival online and continuing to inspire the next generation of theatre artists and audiences.

Thank you for your support of Berkeley Rep. Together, we’ll bring transformative theatre, artists, and audiences back to our theatres.
