The UC Theatre was founded in 2012 by Berkeley Music Group (BMG) as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We operate The UC Theatre as a community-minded multi-tiered independent live music venue with culturally diverse music programming featuring Emerging, Local, National, & International Touring Artists, as well as a tuition‑free paid workforce‑development program that creates equitable access to creative‑sector careers for young people who are often excluded from traditional pathways.  We’re sustained by a blend of earned income (tickets and ancillary revenue sales) and contributed support from generous donors and local, city, state & federal grants.

The UC Theatre’s Concert Career Pathways workforce development program (CCP)  is a comprehensive workforce development training program designed to remove barriers to entry and provide participants from marginalized communities with industry-relevant training, work-based learning experiences, and career placement support in the live music, performing arts, and nonprofit sectors. CCP is a nine-month hands-on work based training program for young people ages 17 to 25, centered on experiential learning that cultivates critical thinking, creativity, and essential career skills to thrive in today’s job market.  From training to job placement, we collaborate with Industry professionals, who not only teach/train/mentor the hands-on work based nuanced skills for a successful career, but also actively participate in our Profession Partner Network to drive job placement.  In many cases our program gets a foot in the door for CCP Grads where a college degree alone could not.
