Actors Ensemble of Berkeley is calling for proposals for staged readings and main stage plays for the 2024 calendar year.  (Click the read more button for full details on how to present a proposal. Proposals are due on or before November 30, 2023.)

Actors Ensemble is the longest-running theatre organization in Berkeley, founded in 1957. We aim to produce quality theatre emphasizing the ensemble, with a community flavor.  This year, our first full year out of the pandemic, we overcame many challenges to provide the community with a rich and varied theatrical experience - THREE significant productions, Three For Thought, Part II + One at LaVal's Subterranean Theatre and two productions at the John Hinkel Park Amphitheatre, A Room with a View and Faeries of the Moonlight, our first full productions in that beautiful venue since 2018. 

Emily S. Mendel of Berkeleyside News gave Faeries of the Moonlight a great review with the following headline: Defiant teen gets caught up in all-out fairy battle in this enchanting free outdoor Berkeley play.
