Arabian Nights Extends to January 11!

It's never fun telling people that they can't get tickets to a great show.  As great as it is to see the Berkeley Rep sell tickets like MSG pancakes, it's pretty sad for those of us in the box office when we go through performance after performance with patrons issuing the same message: "Sorry, that one's sold out as well." That's why I'm excited to share that Mary Zimmerman's latest fantastical creation, The Arabian Nights, has extended for one week, through to January 11th.

What does this mean for you? It means that most of the performances after Christmas (and especially in January) have some great tickets available.

What does it mean for us in the box office? It means that rather than being bearers of bad news ("Sorry, no tickets left"), we get to say things like "Yes! We have a fantastic pair of seats on that day.  Would you like to be third row center or fifth row center?" or "We have great seats for both Thursday and Friday.  Which date would you prefer?" Most importantly, it allows us to spread the joy rather than disappointment. So if you haven't partaken of Mary Zimmerman's lush phantasmagoria of live music, dancing, hillarious and insightful stories, and the world's classiest (and most intricate) fart joke, give us a call!  Or better yet, head to our website--and keep in mind, the best (and in some cases, only) tickets are found in January.  Get them while you can!
