BERKELEY, CA — Travelers passing through Oakland Airport (OAK) can now experience a taste of the Bay Area’s vibrant theater scene thanks to a new partnership with Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Announced on Monday, this collaboration is designed to bring the excitement of live theater to a wider audience through special promotions, immersive experiences, and community engagement initiatives.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Oakland Airport as a season sponsor,” said Berkeley Rep Managing Director Tom Parrish. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to the East Bay and allows us to introduce the magic of theater to travelers from around the world. Just as OAK connects people to new destinations, Berkeley Rep connects audiences through powerful storytelling.”

As part of the partnership, OAK travelers will have access to exclusive ticket offers, and select airport spaces will feature Berkeley Rep-themed activations throughout the year. The collaboration aims to deepen both organizations’ ties to the East Bay community by making live theater more accessible and fostering engagement beyond the stage.

“OAK is proud to support Berkeley Repertory Theatre and its mission,” said Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Craig Simon. “As an airport that serves as a gateway to the Bay Area, we recognize the importance of promoting local arts and culture. This partnership allows us to connect visitors and residents alike to one of the region’s most cherished artistic institutions.”

Berkeley Rep, renowned for its ambitious and thought-provoking productions, has long been a leader in innovative theater. With this partnership, the Tony Award-winning company continues its mission of expanding audience reach and inspiring new ways to experience the performing arts.
