The UC Theatre was founded in 2012 by the Berkeley Music Group (BMG) as a 501 c3 non-profit organization. We operate The UC Theatre - an independent community-minded 1,400 capacity multi-tiered live music venue, with youth education programs.
Our mission is to present a vibrant and diverse range of live performances to advance the understanding and appreciation of music, culture, and education in the Bay Area. We provide inclusive, diverse, and culturally rich music programming including; Tinariwen, Green Day, Run The Jewels, Natalia Laforcada, Clozee, Todrick Hall, Steel Pulse, Kehlani, Mulatu Astatke, Kolohe Kai, Taj Mahal, The Story So Far, Toro y Moi and more, as well as transformative youth education programs.
The UC Theatre is committed to equity in its support and advocacy, seeking to create and encourage opportunities for people of color, women, non-binary, LGBTQ , veterans, and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating and upholding a safe space for its staff and customers where respectful conversations around diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility can continue to happen. The UC Theatre makes an ongoing commitment to prioritize DEI initiatives and learn more about best practices and approaches to DEI in the live performance industry and provide resources and professional development opportunities to support its members in doing the same for their individual businesses.
