The Berkeley Repertory Theatre has provided a welcoming home for emerging and established artists since 1968. Over 5.5 million people have enjoyed nearly 500 shows at Berkeley Rep, which have gone on to win six Tony Awards, seven Obie Awards, nine Drama Desk Awards, one Grammy Award, one Pulitzer Prize and many other honors. The Ground Floor: Berkeley Rep’s Center for the Creation and Development of New Work was launched in 2012 to formalize and enhance the processes by which Berkeley Rep makes theatre. The Berkeley Rep School of Theatre engages and educates some 20,000 people a year and helps build the audiences of tomorrow with its nationally recognized teen programs.
The Jonathan Logan Family Foundation shares Berkeley Rep’s commitment to powerful storytelling and is proud to provide general operating support for this organization that is such a vital part of Berkeley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. JLFF also supports the Student Matinee program, which makes theatre accessible to underserved middle and high school students. Students engage with a study guide before the performance, a pre-show workshop at the theatre and a post-show talkback with the cast. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Berkeley Rep piloted a virtual program to further expand student access.
