Actors Ensemble is the longest-running theatrical organization in Berkeley.

Audiences of all ages will enjoy the delightful Faeries of the Moonlight. And it is one of the few theater productions that children between 6 and 12 can understand and appreciate. With comedic highlights, it includes lessons about the importance of friendship, loyalty, and judging people by their inner, not outer, selves. – Berkeleyside. Read the full review.
