Bruns Memorial Amphitheatre
Bruns Amphitheater is an outdoor theater in the Orinda hills that redefines classical theater for the 21st Century, through the lenses of equity, diversity, and inclusion. The range of events runs the gammut of arts: music, theater, dance, and opera. The open air theater is also home to Cal Shakes; where you can take in a Shakespearean play.
First time here? Returning? We are so excited to have you experience the magic of the Bruns.
Here are some handy pointers to make your trip the best it can be.
ANCESTRAL LAND
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the ancestral home of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people. This land has a deep history and a community of people who have lived here for thousands of years. For those of us who are not Indigenous to this land, the Shuumi Land Tax is a way to acknowledge this history and the Ohlone community.
CURRENT STEWARDSHIP
Siest Valley is one of the original land holdings of the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EMBUD). In agreeing to lease to the Theater, EMBUD seeks to serve the public with a community facility while preserving the watershed with minial disruption to the pastoral surroundings.
