Local families still have three opportunities this spring to enjoy a free, interactive theatre workshop: from 1 to 3 PM on Sunday, March 13; Sunday, April 10 and Sunday, May 8. There is no cost; Berkeley Rep suggests instead that each family donate a book for the library at nearby John Muir Elementary School. The Target® Family Series at Berkeley Rep gives families an opportunity to play together. Toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents all can participate in these free, two-hour workshops. There’s a new topic every month: such as clowning, circus skills or storytelling. The March program will be focused on improv; themes for the other workshops have yet to be announced. All ages and levels are invited to participate. “Thanks to Target, Berkeley Rep can bring excellent entertainment to local families,” remarked Berkeley Rep’s Managing Director Susan Medak. “The Family Series provides enjoyable activities that everyone can engage in—and it’s free!” Target Corporation has been an ongoing supporter of Berkeley Rep’s educational programs since 1986. “We are happy to be expanding our relationship with Berkeley Rep this season by helping to bring to life new programs and by continuing our support of existing educational and outreach programs,” said Bernard Boudreaux, senior manager of community relations for Target Corporation. “We are proud to support organizations like Berkeley Rep that make our communities a better place to live and work.” The Berkeley Rep School of Theatre, housed in the Nevo Education Center, offers a wide array of programming for individuals of all ages. In addition to classes for youth and adults, it offers the Hilde L. Mosse Programs for Education which include Target® Story Builders, a drama workshop for elementary-school classrooms; the Student Matinee Series for middle- and high-school students; the Playmaking Project for high-school students and incarcerated youth; in-school residencies; teacher training and a variety of outreach activities that encourage lifelong learning.
