TheatreFIRST

TheatreFIRST is delighted to announce the following events to coincide with performances of Future Me at the Berkeley City Club. On the following nights, there will be post-show discussions with professionals in the field of treatment and rehabilitation of sex offenders and their victims. We invite audience members to stay behind immediately following the shows on these dates to hear from people who have devoted their professional lives to this enormously important and difficult area of therapeutic practice. We understand that this is a complicated and highly emotional subject, and we invite our audience members to become as well informed as possible about it. Thank you!

TheatreFIRST’s sell-out run of Future Me must close Sunday, May 4th.

Although most shows have sold out, there are still some tickets remaining for the final weekend of Stephen Brown’s provoking and brilliantly-acted new play. Rob Hurwitt in the SF Chronicle calls it “riveting…an evening of intensely well-realized, gripping performances”.( Click here to read Rob Hurwitt’s full review.) Our audience says it’s the most thought-provoking play they have seen in ages, and they are still talking about it days, even weeks later. As one audience member remarked: “Thank God someone has had the guts to take the lid off this subject. We really need to talk about this”.

Just nine months after it received its highly acclaimed opening at London’s Theatre503, this extraordinary drama of transgression and forgiveness is thrilling and engaging Bay Area audiences. Booking is open now, so click on the link above to make your reservation.

TheatreFIRST is in negotiations for a new, dedicated performance space in the Oakland uptown arts district. We are deeply grateful to our donors for making this possible. We will keep you informed as negotiations progress. Meanwhile, see you at the City Club!
