Welcome to the third Repisode of our Audio Program. For the Audio Program, we’ll be reading out loud the dramaturgy material from the show’s program in an effort to make the information around our shows accessible to all audiences, in multiple formats. Here we read the Origin Story and two essays, one that provides a history of The Five Points neighborhood and one that gives more information about the life and music of songwriter Stephen Foster.

Paradise Square is now playing December 27-February 17. Tickets are available at berkeleyrep.org!

Follow Berkeley Rep on SoundCloud to keep up with the whole series. You can also listen on Apple Podcasts and Stitcher.
