Shotgun Players, Theater venue in Berkeley, United States

Shotgun Players operates a performance space that presents six to seven productions each season, ranging from classic plays to newly commissioned works with contemporary perspectives. The venue accommodates audiences for indoor theater productions throughout the year.

Founded in 1992 by Patrick Dooley and ten actors, the company spent over a decade performing in temporary spaces across Berkeley. The group established a permanent home at Ashby Stage in 2004 after occupying 44 different locations.

The company shapes the local arts scene through seasons of productions and a commitment to fresh interpretations of established works. This focus draws audiences who value thoughtful theater in the Bay Area community.

The venue sits near Ashby BART station, making it accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check ahead for current production schedules and seating information before attending.

Since 2007, the Ashby Stage has powered its operations with solar energy, an early adoption for theater venues in the country. This long-term commitment reflects the company's values beyond just creating performances.
