Special Events & Festivals
(415) 561-5300

The Presidio's history is central to its status as a national
park. Before the arrival of Europeans, the indigenous Ohlone
people were the first known users of the land. In 1776, the
Presidio was established as a military post by a Spanish
expedition that marched north from Sonora, Mexico. After Mexico
gained its independence from Spain in 1821, the Presidio became
a Mexican frontier outpost. During the Mexican-American War in
1846, the U.S. Army took control of the Presidio. As a result of
the Base Closure and Realignment Act, the Presidio was
transferred to the National Park Service in 1994. Two years
later, the U.S. Congress established the Presidio Trust to
manage the Presidio, in partnership with the National Park
Service. Time: Monday-Sunday 12:00am-12:00am

World Premiere
The play - Sid Silver is obsessed. When he learns about a
young girl named Anne Frank and
her extraordinary diary,
he makes it his mission to ensure her tale is heard. But is the
manuscript a work of art? A cultural treasure? Once publishers and
producers get involved, it becomes “a very valuable product”—and
Silver’s good intentions prove to be his undoing. Acclaimed director
Oskar Eustis returns to the Bay Area with Rinne Groff’s Compulsion,
a kaleidoscopic collision of history and culture inspired by the
life of Meyer Levin and commissioned by Berkeley Rep. A moving story
that combines stellar acting with marvelous marionettes, this
world-premiere production takes us on a journey from passion to Compulsion.

San Francisco’s 1st Annual Polk Street Blues Festival
Saturday &
Sunday - Pacific to Union • San Francisco - 10am to 6pm • Polk
Street - For many years, San Francisco has been known for it's love
of blues music and as our company already produces one of the
nation's largest free Jazz Festivals on Fillmore Street, it made
complete sense to us and our client, the Polk District Merchants
Association, to create a free Blues Festival on upper Polk Street.
If people are looking to escape the crowded downtown San Francisco
chain stores and they are ready to enjoy a warm, friendly
neighborhood atmosphere, Polk Street is the place. Polk Street runs
from Ghirardelli Square at Beach Street at the North end, South to
Market Street near City Hall and the Civic Center. Located on the
West side of upscale Nob & Russian Hills, the area is in a San
Francisco micro climate relatively immune to foul weather especially
during late September. ..

World Premiere. The play. The
show must go on? But the actor is mute, the director is crying, the
dancer is lazy—and the composer is dead! This holiday season,
Berkeley Rep presents a deliciously silly world premiere from
beloved Bay Area artists. The Composer is Dead features text by
bestselling author Lemony Snicket and a score by (living) composer
Nathaniel Stookey. It’s a new theatrical adaptation of this wildly
popular piece. Tony Taccone’s raucous production unleashes laughs
through classic clowning and plenty of uppity puppets from the
pioneering Phantom Limb Company (Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko,
Co-Artistic Directors). When Geoff Hoyle pops up as an outlandish
inspector bent on solving a murderous riddle, the show crescendos
into comic absurdity. To the delight of children and adults
alike, The Composer is Dead comes alive on stage.

THE COMPOSER IS DEAD

World Premiere. The
play. The show must go on? But the actor is mute, the
director is crying, the dancer is lazy—and the composer
is dead! This holiday season, Berkeley Rep presents a
deliciously silly world premiere from beloved Bay Area
artists. The Composer is Dead features text by
bestselling author Lemony Snicket and a score by
(living) composer Nathaniel Stookey. It’s a new
theatrical adaptation of this wildly popular piece. Tony
Taccone’s raucous production unleashes laughs through
classic clowning and plenty of uppity puppets from the
pioneering Phantom Limb Company (Jessica Grindstaff and
Erik Sanko, Co-Artistic Directors). When Geoff Hoyle
pops up as an outlandish inspector bent on solving a
murderous riddle, the show crescendos into comic
absurdity. To the delight of children and adults
alike, The Composer is Dead comes alive on stage.

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS
in repertory with
THE LAST CARGO CULT
Main Season | Thrust Stage
Box Office:

The play: The New
York Times dubbed Mike Daisey “the master storyteller”
and “one of the finest solo performers of his
generation.” Our audiences loved Great Men of
Genius, The Ugly American and 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @
Amazon.com. Now Daisey returns to Berkeley Rep in an
incredible doubleheader: two provocative new monologues
that examine our obsession with commerce. In The Agony
and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, Daisey dives into the
epic story of a real-life Willy Wonka whose personal
obsessions profoundly affect our everyday lives—and
follows the trail to China where millions toil in
factories to create iPhones and iPods. With The Last
Cargo Cult, Daisey travels to a remote island in the
South Pacific whose inhabitants actually worship America
and its goods. He observes their rituals as the world’s
financial system collapses, spurring a soul-searching
assessment of what money means and who is paying the
price. With his wry eye and eccentric intellect, Daisey
delivers two adventure stories—presented on different
days—that cut deep with hilarious social critique.

The play: Berkeley
Rep proudly brings you Ruined, winner of the Pulitzer
Prize. This powerful new play provides a bleak yet
beautiful look at the lives of women in a land ruled by
whiskey and bayonets. As civil war ravages the Congo,
the lucky ones find a home—and a regular meal—in a
ramshackle building that serves as both brothel and
refuge. Whether merchant, miner or soldier, the man you
meet in the morning may be your enemy by sundown. Yet
all of them come through Mama’s door for booze and a bit
of comfort. Mama Nadi protects her girls with rough
compassion, even as she profits from their bodies. This
celebrated script from Lynn Nottage tells an intense and
important tale filled with humanity, hope and unexpected
humor. When Mama talks, you better listen.

West Coast Premiere.
The play.
Audiences and critics on both coasts
embraced Eurydice and In the Next Room (or the vibrator
play), two shows steeped in longing from playwright
Sarah Ruhl and director Les Waters. Now this talented
team turns its attention to a fresh translation of a
masterpiece. The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov depicts
an entire village of unlucky lovers struggling with the
bittersweet distance between reality and dreams. Ruhl
enlivens this classic with the same elegant
understanding of intimacy that infused those earlier
collaborations, while Waters and a cast of 14 deliver
another sumptuous production. The West Coast premiere of
this new adaptation explores the intertwined mysteries
of denial and hope. Discover the humor and heartbreak of
one of the world’s great plays, told anew through the
lyricism of two leading voices in contemporary theatre.
