About the Course:

Interested in Improv? Film? Comedy? Drama? Then join Theatre Rice! 

Theatre Rice, the first modern Asian American theater group at the University of California, Berkeley, was started in the fall of 1998. Since its conception, Theatre Rice has grown considerably, both artistically and physically. In the past several years, the group has begun to attract an increasingly larger audience and a greater membership. Theatre Rice has emerged from a relatively unknown group to a group whose performances have become an anticipated community event.

Theatre Rice was conceived to provide people (particularly, but not exclusively, Asian American) who might not otherwise have a chance to participate in theatrical arts the opportunity to act, write, sing, direct, dance, and learn behind-the-stage techniques. What sets Theatre Rice apart from other dramatic groups is its open and unintimidating environment, and the basic ethic that effort and commitment are more important than experience or innate talent. Because the group is comprised of both seasoned and fledgling actors, there exists a healthy dynamic within which members can share their experiences and learn from each other. 

Theatre Rice! puts on two student produced shows a semester that are open to the public. They were voted 2011's Best Theatre Group by The Daily Cal's Best of Berkeley.
