A mistaken delivery in Mumbai’s famously efficient lunchbox system connects a lonely housewife to a jaded office worker, setting off an exchange of handwritten notes. Tucked in the folds of fragrant chapatis, amidst the vibrant pulse of Mumbai, their words blossom into a connection that might save them both. Directed by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown) and featuring a sweeping and intimate score by Daniel and Patrick Lazour, The Lunchbox is a tale of the beauty of small gestures — one that will leave you believing in the bravery of opening your heart to the unexpected.About the Docent ProgramThe Berkeley Rep Docent Program is part of the theatre’s commitment to provide education and enrichment opportunities about the plays it presents in each season. The Docent Program has grown steadily since its inception in 2005. It is part of Berkeley Rep’s goal to engage the theatre’s audience and the community in a dialogue of ideas.Docents are volunteers who are theater-lovers. They facilitate Post-Show Discussions after matinees at Berkeley Rep to provide an opportunity for audience members to discuss their experience of seeing a play. Docents also give Talks in the community to provide information about each play and create shared experience through a discussion around plays. The talks cover historical and cultural context, the playwright’s intent, the process of the development of the play, and production elements. Talks also include discussion questions. Participants do not have to have seen a performance of the play to participate in the discussion. Both the Berkeley Rep Docent Post-Show Discussions at the theatre and the Docent Talks in the community broaden the conversation about theatre and the world it creates. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/berkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox/100001744245036859 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, theatre, music, performances, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fberkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox-tickets-1744245036859 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 12.51, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Mechanics' Institute - **lat**: 37.7888616 - **long**: -122.4029759 - **full address**: Mechanics' Institute, 57 Post Street, San Francisco, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Mechanics' Institute (https://allevents.in/org/mechanics-institute/22515500) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b77df8ccac762ffe31cfc50dcc0b644abf2e1cadb96868d5e9a1ced4a132ba5a-rimg-w1200-h375-dc136273-gmir.jpg?v=1759211818 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e4d704c506c0f1c908bf30c74a19b7b05b6a0cfb7f2c3790f89aa91e3ca5c64c-rimg-w400-h400-dc08141f-gmir.jpg?v=1759211817 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 01 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-07:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Mechanics' Institute, 57 Post Street, San Francisco, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 12.51 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Mechanics' Institute - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** entertainment, art, theatre, music, performances, live-music - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Berkeley Rep Docent Talk: Lunchbox ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Berkeley Rep Docent Talk: Lunchbox", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b77df8ccac762ffe31cfc50dcc0b644abf2e1cadb96868d5e9a1ced4a132ba5a-rimg-w1200-h375-dc136273-gmir.jpg?v=1759211818", "startDate": "2026-06-01T12:00:00-07:00", "endDate": "2026-06-01T13:00:00-07:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/san-francisco/berkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox/100001744245036859", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Mechanics' Institute", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "57 Post Street", "postalCode": "94104", "addressLocality": "San Francisco", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "37.7888616", "longitude": "-122.4029759" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "These docent talks provide education and enrichment opportunities about the plays that Berkeley Rep presents each season.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2025-09-30", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-01T13:00:00-07:00", "validFrom": "2025-09-30", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "12.51", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/san-francisco/berkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox/100001744245036859" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2025-09-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2025-09-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/san-francisco/berkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox/100001744245036859", "price": "12.51", "name": "Non-Members/Public $10" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2025-09-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2025-09-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/san-francisco/berkeley-rep-docent-talk-lunchbox/100001744245036859", "price": 0, "name": "Mechanics' Institute Members" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Mechanics Institute", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/mechanics-institute/22515500", "description": "The Mechanics' Institute Library and Chess Room is a historic membership library, cultural event center, and chess club located in the Financial District of San Francisco, California at 57 Post Street.
