Mission Statement

Berkeley Shakespeare Company is committed to producing high-quality shows in the Bay Area that are inclusive and actor-driven. We aim to create with fidelity to Shakespeare’s artistic intent, while presenting socially relevant and impactful perspectives on these timeless works.

​In the wake of “The Living Document” and the subsequent inequities that were brought to light in the Bay Area theatre community, Berkeley Shakes is committed to centering considerations of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in all aspects of our productions in order to ensure that our performances are a truly welcoming artistic experience for all.
