Company hopes new talks with Berkeley officials can find a way to keep the company afloat.
It may be the end of the road for TheatreFIRST. Or maybe not.
The next day, Erville received an email from Scott Ferris, the city of Berkeley’s director of Parks, Recreation and Waterfront, indicating that the notice that T1 received was in error: “In an attempt to get you a number, staff sent you a ballpark estimate based on the last lease. Typically, we don’t give out lease estimate numbers until formal negotiations have begun.”
Chafer stepped down in 2008 and Dylan Russell took over as artistic director for just a few months before she and new producing director Allison Studdiford both resigned “as a result of philosophical differences on management-related issues” and Chafer returned to the helm on an interim basis. In 2009, Michael Storm took over as artistic director, shifting the company’s focus toward a mix of better-known known plays alongside some new work.
In 2019 the city shut down Live Oak Community Center for a year to carry out seismic upgrades and renovations for accessibility, and TheatreFIRST moved to a temporary space near the Berkeley waterfront. Of course, COVID hit before that year was up, so it would be some time before the company’s return to Live Oak.
