Founded in 1964 in the basement of Progressive Baptist Church, the Black Repertory Group (BRG) moved to a storefront at 1719 Alcatraz until the Black community, led by members of Downs Memorial Church, reached deep into their pockets, and, with the help of the City of Berkeley, built their theater on Adeline St. BRG had two missions: to serve underprivileged, underserved and minority populations and perform the works of Black playwrights.
