page to stage
Every season, Berkeley Rep hosts Page to Stage, a series of free discussions with eminent theatre artists, designed to give audiences additional insight into the plays and playwrights produced at Berkeley Rep. Past programs have featured theatre luminaries such as David Edgar, Sarah Jones, Tony Kushner, Delroy Lindo, Donald Margulies, Terrence McNally, Charles Mee, Rita Moreno, Salman Rushdie and the Chicano performance trio Culture Clash.
- Monday, December 5—The Wild Bride: Berkeley Rep’s Madeleine Oldham interviews director Emma Rice
- Monday, January 23—Ghost Light: After a special screening of The Memory Be Green, a documentary on the making of Ghost Light, Berkeley Rep’s Madeleine Oldham moderates a discussion and Q&A with Emmy Award-winning documentary maker Dave Iverson and playwright Tony Taccone
Each talk starts at 7pm and runs about 60 minutes. No tickets are necessary for these free events, but seating is limited. The lobby opens at 6pm, and doors to the Theatre open at 6:30pm for general admission seating. Berkeley Rep donors at the Friend level or higher ($75+) enjoy reserved seating and an exclusive post-talk reception with the featured luminary.
