Actors Ensemble is the longest-running theatre organization in Berkeley, founded in 1957.  This year we were proud to produce 2 wonderful productions at the John Hinkel Park Amphitheater, Cymbeline and The Taming of the Shrew, and partnered with Nate Presents to produce an innovative No Exit in the cozy confines of LaVal's Subterranean, We want to wish you Happy Holidays and thank you for a wonderful 2025!
