Meet the Reptiles

Every year the challenge is put forth, and every year, that challenge is clobbered.

The mission is this: photographer Kevin Berne spends a day at Berkeley Rep shooting the entire staff of Berkeley Rep, one department at a time. The challenge is for each department to come up with an idea, a gimmick, a clever way of demonstrating the overwhelming coolness of their particular nook and/or cranny of the Theatre.

This year, as you'll see from the parade of photos below, the ideas range from the obvious to the obscure and everything in between. Perhaps not surprisingly, creativity is in abundant supply around here. Many thanks to Pauline Luppert of the marketing and communications department for compiling Kevin's as-always superb photos. (Note: Pauline was absent on photo day, but she is represented in the marketing photo — see if you can figure out how.)
