About this Event

Join us for a docent talk on Uncle Vanya in the intimate environs of the 4th Floor Board Room at Mechanics' Institute! Done in partnership with Berkeley Rep.

About Uncle Vanya

Playing February 14 to March 23 at Berkeley Rep. Play tickets now on sale -- attendees of this docent talk will receive 20% off tickets for Berkeley Rep's 2024-25 season.

When the distinguished elderly owner of a rural estate returns with a new, young wife, chaos erupts. Tensions run high, marriages reach their limits, confessions — and vodka — flow freely, and weapons are drawn. Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) plays Uncle Vanya in this heartbreaking comedy about the eternal battle between futility and change.

About the Docent Program

The Berkeley Rep Docent Program is part of the theatre’s commitment to provide education and enrichment opportunities about the plays it presents in each season. The Docent Program has grown steadily since its inception in 2005. It is part of Berkeley Rep’s goal to engage the theatre’s audience and the community in a dialogue of ideas.

Docents are volunteers who are theater-lovers. They facilitate Post-Show Discussions after matinees at Berkeley Rep to provide an opportunity for audience members to discuss their experience of seeing a play. Docents also give Talks in the community to provide information about each play and create shared experience through a discussion around plays. The talks cover historical and cultural context, the playwright’s intent, the process of the development of the play, and production elements. Talks also include discussion questions. Participants do not have to have seen a performance of the play to participate in the discussion. Both the Berkeley Rep Docent Post-Show Discussions at the theatre and the Docent Talks in the community broaden the conversation about theatre and the world it creates.
