Juvenile Court
2025-11-09 19:00 | BAMPFA, 2155 Center St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States
Even-mannered Judge Kenneth Turner presides over the local juvenile court in Memphis, Tennessee, in this exploration of troubled youth confronted by American justice. That particular brand of justice is often dispensed via backroom dealmaking, mediated by a formula of religious and psychological prescription. Judge Turner gets the most screen time, but the stars here are the children, adolescents, and parents, as the weight of the state bears down upon them. “They’re trapped by everything. Frederick Wiseman’s open-eyed approach to the stories of their lives is perhaps motivated less by reforming zeal than by his own sense of the mystery of those lives” (Pauline Kael, New Yorker).

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) was sworn into the United States Senate on November 15, 2010. For Senator Manchin, serving as West Virginia’s Senator was truly an honor and a privilege.
Born and raised in the small coal mining town of Farmington, W.Va., Sen. Manchin grew up learning the values that all West Virginians share — family, common sense, fairness, and hard work. As a small businessman, he learned firsthand from his grandfather, Papa Joe, who was an Italian immigrant and the town grocer, the importance of serving the public. As a young man, his beloved grandmother, Mama Kay, inspired Senator Manchin’s belief in public service through her unflagging compassion and desire to help those less fortunate.

Burnout Paradise by Pony Cam

This is a delusional and physical celebrationof our collective struggle to establish clear boundaries in our lives. Four performers mount four treadmills. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience becomes a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that confront the limitations of the performers’ bodies, minds, and spirits. This is not an endurance feat. Nor is it performance art. It is an unraveling realization that the system we participate in is not designed for us.

After gaining international fame for reviving the classic sound of Cuban son, tres master Juan de Marcos turned the Afro-Cuban All Stars into a sensational showcase for Cuba’s most prodigious young musicians.
While long revered in Latin America and Europe as a founding member of Cuba’s great son revival band Sierra Maestra, de Marcos first gained notice in the US as founder of the Buena Vista Social Club. It was de Marcos who assembled Ibrahim Ferrer, Eliades Ochoa, Ruben Gonzalez and the rest of the crew for Ry Cooder when he came to Havana looking for illustrious old timers. But de Marcos is just as interested in promoting Cuba’s brilliant young musicians as in highlighting Cuba’s senior talent.

Mother of Exiles
2025-11-14 - 2025-12-21 | Peet’s Theatre, 2025 Addison St, Berkeley, 94704, United States
By Jessica Huang
Directed by Jaki Bradley
World premiere
Peet’s Theatre
In 1898, on Angel Island, a pregnant Eddie Loi faces deportation amid America’s tightening immigration laws. A century later, her great-grandson Braulio, through his role in the Miami border patrol, inadvertently conjures her spirit — unleashing a witty, opinionated ancestor. By 2063, their descendants, beset by climate catastrophe, embark on a perilous oceanic journey seeking sanctuary. From detention to diaspora, Mother of Exiles follows a single family’s century-and-a-half odyssey — tracing their flight, fight, and the futures they dare imagine. Jessica Huang’s multigenerational triptych blends historical drama with supernatural encounters, weaving moments of surprising humor into a powerful portrait of belonging and resilience.
Mother of Exiles received a Venturous Playwright Fellowship at the Playwrights’ Center in St. Paul, MN, supported by Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation.
Mother of Exiles was developed in The Ground Floor: Berkeley Rep’s Center for the Creation and Development of New Work.
