Shotgun Players is a company of artists determined to create bold, relevant, affordable theatre that inspires and challenges audience and artist alike to re-examine our lives, our community, and the ever-changing world around us.
In 1992 Patrick Dooley and a group of eager young artists formed Shotgun Players, a company dedicated to creating innovative and affordable theatre. Now in our 24th season, our company includes 22 actors, directors, designers, and playwrights. Each season we produce five to six plays including a mix of new works and classics. Our hope is to make theatre an integral part of everyday life. We have commissioned 34 new plays, earned a reputation for artistic excellence, and still honor our commitment to affordable theatre. We offer pay-what-you-can performances for each production, and through our Make a Difference program we offer $5 tickets to anyone 25 and younger. Our Make a Difference program also provides paid internships for those wishing to learn skills in the areas of design, directing and production management. If you want to learn how to start a theatre company, our Make a
Difference Program can provide mentorships from core Shotgun Players artists and staff, while also providing work-trade opportunities for rehearsal space. We are eager to support the next generation of artists and audiences. Shotgun Players theatre, the Ashby Stage, is a certified green building and became the first solar-powered live theatre in 2007. Each season we produce five to six plays including a mix of new works and classics. When we moved to South Berkeley in 2004 we invited residents to be our collaborators. Together we have created three community-based plays, all with stories from local residents. As a result, we have built lasting relationships with our South Berkeley neighbors. Theatre is our way of building community.
During the 2019-2020 season, Shotgun Players presented the following productions:* KILL THE DEBBIE DOWNERS! KILL THEM! KIL THEM! KILL THEM! KILL THEM OFF!* Far, Far Better Things* Kings* Kill Move Paradise* The Flick* Elevada* Vinegar Tom
