Why they deserve 5 stars: An eclectic line up of plays a mix of classic and new plays. Some cutting productions; some work, some don't, but they are never boring. You can take the cookies and liquor...

When my sister went to UCB, I would occasionally drive down to Berkeley to visit her. On my way there, I would always pass by Shotgun players. It never occurred to me to go to one of the performances...

After last night's smart, funny, empassioned, thought-provoking performance of "Skylight," the Shotgun Players have in me a new regular. I hope to see every performance they put on from here on out....

I especially like the reasonable pricing for folks under 38; you can see excellent live theater for the price of going to a movie and getting popcorn and a soda. I also love how cutting edge this...

What a pleasant surprise. "Beowulf" was my first venture into far-out theater (I'm hesitant to call it avant garde b/c I'm not sure I'd know avant garde if it were gnawing on my bum). I was worried...

I was not super impressed by the quality of performance on the opening night of Beowulf tonight, but maybe it will get better as the run goes on. But it was definitely a bold choice of play that you...

Shotgun is on the way to becoming the first solar powered theatre in the country. Even in Berkeley that's a pretty radical step. The building is a converted church and the audience sits on pews -...
