The Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley is an iconic outdoor amphitheater originally constructed in 1903. Inspired by ancient Greek theaters, it was designed by architect John Galen Howard and has hosted a diverse range of performances for over a century, including concerts, theatrical productions, lectures, and commencement ceremonies. The venue’s natural acoustics and hillside setting contribute to its unique atmosphere. Significant renovations occurred in 1981 to improve accessibility and functionality while preserving its historical character. It is owned and operated by Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC). The theatre holds approximately 8,500 seats.
