Tony Taccone has served as Artistic Director of Berkeley Rep for the past 21 years, during which time the Tony-Award-winning nonprofit has enhanced its reputation as an international leader in innovative theatre. Mr. Taccone has staged more than 40 plays in Berkeley including new work by Julia Cho, Tony Kushner, KJ Sanchez, Danny Hoch, David Edgar, Sarah Jones, Culture Clash, and Lemony Snicket. He directed two shows that transferred to London, Continental Divide and Tiny Kushner, and three that landed on Broadway, Bridge and Tunnel, Wishful Drinking, and Latin History for Morons. Prior to working at Berkeley Rep, Taccone served as Artistic Director of The Eureka Theatre, introducing the Bay Area to playwrights ranging from Dario Fo to Caryl Churchill. While there, Taccone and Oskar Eustis commissioned Tony Kushner’s Angels in America and co-directed its world premiere in Los Angeles; he will direct Angels again this spring at Berkeley Rep.
