Berkeley Rep Launches Create Campaign

Stage Directions: Berkeley Repertory Theatre has launched a fundraising effort called the Create Campaign in the effort “to transform Berkeley Rep into one of the foremost centers for new play development in the country.” The Create Campaign aims to raise $50 million to bolster the Rep’s annual and capital reserve fund, invest in its staff, expand its new Harrison Street campus ($14 million) and renovate its Thrust Stage ($6 million). The expansion of the Harrison St. campus is designed to “create a dynamic artists-in-residence community.”
