Actors Ensemble of Berkeley is holding open auditions for our Fall 2026 production in Live Oak Theater, Berkeley of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Oscar Wilde, directed by Jay Manley, assisted by Jane Goodwin. After a long absence, Actors Ensemble of Berkeley will return to the charming and intimate Live Oak Theatre for this re-imagining of this theater classic.

Actors Ensemble of Berkeley is accepting submissions for a production of Repossessed by Greg Lam (a Bay Area Playwright), directed by Gabriel A. Ross. The story revolves around a couple that have utilized an advanced technology ("LIFE ENHANCED") to implant skills, knowledge, and memories into their brains. However, they also chose to forego the knowledge that they had done this. So, to them, their memories and knowledge seem genuine.

Actors Ensemble is pleased to announce the cast of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, by Duffield from the book by Lewis Carroll, directed by Michael Sally.  Opens Friday, July 3rd 2026 and continues on Saturdays and Sundays at 4 p.m. through July 19th, free-of-charge.  Make your plans now!

We are so excited, and we are all looking forward to bringing this production to life together with an audience in the beautiful John Hinkel Park Amphitheater.  Join us!
