About Us
CAL SHAKES
is a major Bay Area theater that, guided by the artistic direction of Obie Award-winning Eric Ting, has emerged as a leader in promoting Equity in theater and incorporating the voices and perspectives of community partners in the works on our stage. Our work to lift up the voices so frequently left out of society’s narrative.
Cal Shakes is producing a reimagined '1001 NIGHTS' for the 2022 season.
