production and co-production sponsor
Berkeley Rep presents seven boldly imagined productions per season that reflect the richness and diversity of the human experience while exploring the cultural and social events that shape our lives. Your company’s name and/or logo will be attached to all printed materials associated with the production of your choice, and we offer the opportunity to host an exclusive pre-show event at the Theatre.

public lecture series—page to stage
Held three times per season and attracting approximately 400 people, these lectures start with a reception for our donors, and are followed by a staged discussion with playwrights, directors and theatre staff addressing a subject related to the theatre’s latest production. Corporate recognition will appear on all Page to Stage materials throughout the season and in the program book.

Name our half-price ticket rate (except for Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees) for under-30 theatre-goers. These are Berkeley Rep’s audiences of the future and your ideal market base. Sponsors receive heightened promotion at each event as well as recognition on all Under-30 marketing materials.
opening nights
A high-profile dinner at a white tablecloth restaurant precedes the opening of all seven plays of the season. Between 100 and 200 donors, artists and Berkeley Repertory Theatre funders attend these dinners. Sponsors receive recognition on the event invitation and signage as well as verbal recognition at the dinner.
night/OUT
Held three times per season at Berkeley Rep, this night for the gay and lesbian community consists of a post-show reception and discussion. Sponsorship includes credit line on advertisements and invitations for night/OUT, and marketing opportunities.
