The It List: Five things to do in Berkeley this weekend
CHEKHOV ON CAMPUS Some of the best theater in town is put on by the students in UC Berkeley’s Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies. The department is presenting Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, a classic tale of 20th-century social upheaval. This production, which opens Friday at Zellerbach Playhouse on the UC Berkeley campus and runs through Sunday, Nov. 1, is directed by senior lecturer Lura Dolas and based on a new translation by Libby Appel. “It’s a play about love and hope, fear and denial,” Dolas says, “as well as giving up treasured beliefs and ways of life, and looking to the future–rushing headlong into it.” Tickets are $13-$20, and can be purchased online through the TDPS Box Office or at the door.
