From BluWiki

Berkeley Repertory Theatre is a regional theatre company located in Berkeley, California. Founded in 1968, the company runs seven productions each season from its two stages in downtown Berkeley. It won a Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theater in 1997. The theater added the 600-seat proscenium Roda Theatre next door to its existing 400-seat asymmetrical thrust stage in 2001, as well as opening its Berkeley Rep School of Theatre the same year. Its current artistic director is Tony Taccone.

Productions are a mix of classic modern plays (such as Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts and Terrence McNally's Master Class, the latter featuring Rita Moreno as opera diva Maria Callas), significant recent plays (with many West Coast premieres such as Moisés Kaufman's The Laramie Project and Tony Kushner's Homebody/Kabul) and even world premieres (such as Kushner's Hydriotaphia and Charles Mee's Fetes De La Nuit).
