Getting #social with the Theatre
Berkeley Repertory Theatre August 12
Last night was the start to a stellar run of NO MAN'S LAND with a fabulous opening. Here's a photo of the whole cast along with Tony, Sean, and Susie. Cheers to a fabulous run (and Keith Stern for this great photo)!

Let’s face it—we live in a world of
likes, shares, and retweets. Not only does it seem that social media is here to stay, it has become an integrated part of our daily routine at Berkeley Rep. We update our Facebook and Twitter pages frequently with news about upcoming shows, pictures from artists, and important information for our audience. We chat with our fans, or “Reptorians” (a name they chose for themselves on Facebook), about almost anything—whether it’s answering questions about a new play, providing recommendations for nearby restaurants, or sharing a photo from rehearsal. For instance, during the run of No Man’s Land, the immediacy of social media helped us notify our fans and followers of last-minute ticket availability. Even Masha from Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike has something to say on Twitter with her own hashtag, #MashaSays. Whether you’re checking in with us on Foursquare or sharing photos from our interactive lobbies on Instagram, we love to see how our fans are making theatre part of their everyday conversations. Join our online dialogue, get a glimpse behind the scenes, and share your thoughts about our work onstage. Like us on Facebook at /BerkeleyRep and follow us on Twitter @berkeleyrep —but please, not during the performance.

How very pleasant Berkeley is, climate, architecture, landscape, food. We should all be so lucky to live here. Retweeted by Berkeley Rep

Check out Anna Deavere Smith and Tony Kushner! They are all smiles at The White House just after receiving their medals. Congratulations!
