Aurora produces an eclectic 5-play season of over 200 performances each year, which is Aurora’s primary programming. The plays range from brand-new work to reimagined classics to contemporary pieces – each chosen with the hopes that it will challenge our audiences to engage in discussion and reflect on cultural values.
Aurora also invests in new work through the Originate + Generate new works initiative. O+G offers personalized support to selected Bay Area artists for the development of new performances. Support includes a commission, developmental support from Aurora’s artistic team, and the use of Aurora’s resources for workshops and rehearsals. The goal for O+G work is to debut on the Aurora stage.
Finally, Aurora invests in our local community through our Community Partners Program. Partnering organizations may receive free or heavily discounted performances tickets for their members and affiliates. Aurora currently partners with Berkeley High School.
