When the Bay Area’s arts and culture thrive, our whole region thrives. The Koret Foundation is proud to support the region's leading performing arts organizations, helping them to push creative boundaries and reach broader audiences. We seek to elevate such institutions because when they prosper, the economy prospers and the whole community benefits.

prologue one of the things that drew me to the theatre was the utter delight of listening to stories that were hundreds and sometimes thousands of years old. Hearing those words, in translation, adaptation, or even occasionally in their native tongue, has filled me with an immense sense of awe that writers from other times and other places, writing from a profound need to share their world, can speak to me in my own time and shed light on my own circumstances. They can reach forward in time with the words and emotion that may explain what I’m struggling to articulate. Their narrative can make sense of my own. That constant search for meaning and understanding drives Berkeley Rep to enhance our pre- and post-show programs. We are well aware that our audience is one of the smartest in the country. Your insatiable curiosity has led us to constantly revisit the ways in which we can assist you in making each Berkeley Rep experience as meaningful as it can possibly be. That is why we’ve expanded our docent program. Our docents provide preshow presentations at 7pm prior to all Tuesday and Thursday performances, and they now lead discussions following matinees so that audience members who are eager to discuss the production can engage in an active dialogue. Increasingly, docents are taking their presentations on the road to community libraries, senior centers, and even to small groups of avid theatre-going friends. We also offer post-show discussions led by members of our artistic staff and featuring artists from the production. And we email you Madeleine Oldham’s always insightful Liner Notes a few days in advance of your performance (if you’ve opted in to our emails). We also publish the entire edition of the Berkeley Rep Magazine along with additional resources online before the production opens for those that wish to learn more about the show in advance and at their leisure. If you haven’t taken advantage of any of these programs in the past, I hope that you’ll do so in the future. I think you’ll find, as I always do, that the more I know walking into the theatre, the more satisfied I feel as I’m leaving it.
