The Julia Morgan Theater is home to Berkeley Playhouse, a nonprofit that runs musical-theater summer day camps for students in grades K-7 on weekdays from 9am to 3pm, with before- and after-care available. Campers play theater games, make crafts, and stage a mini musical, while older YouthStage sessions rehearse and perform a full production on the Julia Morgan stage. Financial aid is offered to support low-income families.

★★★★★Jocelyn PouI love the musicals, put on every year by The Berkeley Playhouse. It's a perfect theater for any performance for visuals and sound. It is always warm and welcoming.
★★★★★Joi JencuyahJulia Morgan Theater, now known as Berkeley Playhouse, is a true gem, nestled in the bustling College ave neighborhood. It was built by the famous architect a hundred years ago with ancient redwoods. We could still feel the aliveness in the walls! And it truly has much aliveness in the great shows that are performed there & the involvement of the community! Recently saw an exemplary production of "Jesus Christ Superstar". Incredible singing, dancing, choreography, set design & lighting! Not to miss!
★★★★★Janine WestonFirst time seeing a show here and it was five stars plus! Beautiful theater, wonderful entertainment, and comfortable seating. Definitely coming back for more in the future!
★★★★Julie C (Henwife)Darling venue - we have season tickets to the Berkeley Community Theater here, and enjoy our visits. Snack bar has best baked goods of any theater I've been to - Sweet Adeline supplies the treats. It's an extremely cramped lobby, and if it's raining, best to stay seated during intermission. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the building is simply gorgeous. DO pitch in for their new spotlight--
★★★★★Souls Enlightenment with Vera and ChristinaChrissy and I went to see Sister Act with a good friend today. It was amazing! The talent, the music, phenomenal! My fave is still Marcel Saunders! ( Saw him in Tarzan) When he is on stage he steals the show. Which is no small feat because the cast is very talented. If you haven’t seen the show please see it before it closes (next week I believe!) So uplifting! Something we need in times such as these. Great!!!
