Cal Performances

Cal Performances is a performing arts organization located on the University of California, Berkeley Campus in Berkeley, California.[1]

The origins of Cal Performances date from 1906, when stage actress Sarah Bernhardt appeared at the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre to help rebuild public morale after the devastating San Francisco earthquake and fire in April of that year. Cal Performances' main venue, Zellerbach Hall, is one of the most well appointed theaters in the United States.
