Shotgun Players Announces 30th Anniversary Season, Including the Tony-Winning Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812
Hopefully, if all continues on a positive path with the pandemic, each week ahead will come with small announcements about the Bay Area arts and culture scenes slowly coming back to life. This week, we learn that Berkeley s Shotgun Players is alive and well, and they re planning an ambitious 30th anniversary season that kicks off with four shows meant to bridge the transition between streaming-only and in-person theater.
Shotgun had the good fortune to be able to complete a long-planned renovation of its Ashby Stage headquarters over the past year. And as Berkeleyside reports, the pandemic shutdown enabled them to finish it faster and with less disruption to its production schedule than it otherwise would have caused.

As theaters across the country toggle between planning an in-person season for someday and plotting digital content for now, Shotgun Players is going both ways at once for its 30th season, announced Wednesday, Feb. 3.
A Bridge Series begins in April with the aim of moving gradually from digital to in-person content; a main stage season, highlighted by “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812,” follows “only when we can safely operate at full capacity,” according to a statement.
