The construction of Berkeley Rep's new theatre marks a new era for the Theatre. Over the last thirty years, the Rep has grown from a storefront theatre to a nationally prominent cultural resource.
Extensions are nearly impossible unless a hit play happens to fall at the end of our season.
Building our new 600-seat proscenium theatre to the west of our current thrust stage, will solve these key issues for Berkeley Rep and its patrons. With two stages, we will be able to support our growing audience, enlarge the spectrum of work that we produce, and extend the impact of our education and outreach programs. We will bring all of our productions home to Addison Street, and help to create a vibrant and economically thriving downtown Berkeley.
