Join us for Berkeley Rep’s most spectacular event of the year!

Join in celebration of the power of theatre to uplift and unite us. Gather friends and loved ones for an unforgettable evening featuring cocktails, a seated dinner, champagne reception, and awe-inspiring entertainment including performances, awards, and a live auction.

We are delighted to honor acclaimed writer-director Ritesh Batra, book writer and co-lyricist of The Lunchbox stage musical adaptation premiering at Berkeley Rep this spring, alongside longtime Berkeley Rep partner Peet’s Coffee.

It would be our honor to welcome you to this special event, which provides critical support to Berkeley Rep’s artistic and education programs. This year’s gala will feature the first-ever performances from The Lunchbox musical!
