About Cal Shakes: With a 545-seat outdoor performance venue in Orinda, CA; and education and community programs throughout the Bay Area, Cal Shakes expands access to and relevance of the arts by fostering a participatory culture among a diversity of audiences, artists, and learners. Launched in 1974, Cal Shakes is a major Bay Area theater that has emerged as a leader in promoting Equity in theater and incorporating the voices and perspectives of community partners in the works on our stage.

Theater is people. We strive for a work environment in which everyone feels encouraged to bring their whole self to work. Cal Shakes promotes transparency and staff access to decision-making through organization-wide meetings that invite participation from all staff regardless of seniority or position. We embrace a diversity of people, ideas, talents, and experiences and work to create a space where people have a sense of belonging. We highly encourage people of color, individuals with disabilities, and other historically underrepresented groups in our community to apply. 

Vaccination Policy: Cal Shakes is a fully vaccinated and boosted workplace. 

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Statement: At Cal Shakes, we believe that equity is a practice. Our actions—both onstage and off—can have a positive social impact by exposing oppression, addressing historic injustices, and showing how power can be transformed and shared in different ways. We work to dismantle systemic bias by actively including, reflecting, and creating opportunities for our diverse Bay Area communities. We recognize that this work is ongoing and often imperfect, but we are committed to facilitating respect for the many facets of the human experience.
