The Berkeley Rep’s 2021-2022 season features a delightful mixture of classics, new productions, and premieres.
This season, Berkeley Rep is presenting Wintertime. Written by playwright Charles L. Mee, there is a reason it is the play to welcome audiences back. According to Berkeley Rep’s digital program, “… we did know we wanted something that demanded real time and real space—a play that celebrated the immediacy of the theater. Chuck Mee’s work was an obvious choice.”
Berkeley Rep’s production of Wintertime is a compelling theatrical play that is a perfect addition to your theater repertoire. Wintertime is about a complex mix of emotions, relationships, and love. It’s about the deep, dark, and difficult feelings that people can’t always talk about. It’s about finding your voice. It’s about the power of love. It’s about how we have the courage to see ourselves as we are, not as who others want us to be. It’s about the journey of the heart.
Berkeley Rep’s production of Wintertime is showing until December 19, don’t miss it!
