Radhika Rao Directing Heroes’ Journey at Berkeley Repertory Theatre
-
Description
-
Radhika Rao with playwright Krista Knight during Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s 2026 Summer Intensive Program, where Rao directed the world premiere of Knight’s Heroes’ Journey. The comedy is a meta-narrative about classical story structure: when the expected Hero does not appear, the Greek Chorus becomes the Hero instead. The play explores the idea that everyone can be a hero and protagonist of their own story. The project reflects Rao’s work as a director and teaching artist, particularly her commitment to youth theater, arts education, collaboration, and creative expression.
