"MJ: The Musical"

"Manahatta"

Through Mar. 10 | Downtown Berkeley
Times Vary | 2081 Addison St.

A young Lenape woman, Jane Snake, returns to her ancestral homeland, Manahatta, to work as a securities trader on Wall Street – the once-walled street built by enslaved Africans to keep the Indigenous Lenape out. Set against the backdrop of the Occupy Wall Street movement and across time, Manahatta draws parallels between the forced removal, taxation and fiscal impact on Native Americans during the 2008 financial crisis and the 1626 Dutch purchase of the island of Manahatta/Manhattan. The Aurora Theatre Company presents this stunning performance 0.1 miles from Downtown Berkeley.

Cirque du Soleil "KOOZA"

Through Mar. 17 | Montgomery

"KOOZA" is an innovative journey viewed through the perspective of The Innocent, an endearing yet naïve clown looking for his place in the world. A mystery item is delivered to The Innocent one day when he is flying his kite. Experience an electrifying show where larger-than-life characters meet daredevil acrobatics that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Catch the show under the big top at Oracle Park, just 1.1 miles from Montgomery Station. Walk or hop on the Muni N line just above the station.

"The Wiz"

Through Mar. 17 | Powell St
Times Vary | 1 Taylor St.

"The Wiz" returns “home” to stages across America in an all-new Broadway-bound tour, the first one in 40 years. This groundbreaking twist on "The Wizard of Oz" changed the face of Broadway – from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock and finger-snapping ‘70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. The Golden Gate Theatre hosts the award-winning show 0.2 miles from Powell St.

You needn’t pay a dime – or even a pretty penny! – to enjoy the breadth of the Bay Area’s offerings. Below you’ll find a roundup of free local events, including festivals, markets, museum admission-free days and more!
