“I have been doing this since I was a kiddo really. When I figured out how to skip like Oz’s Dorothy, I said, ‘Let’s put on a parade!’ just so I could skip down the street like her. I was an actor as an undergrad and then moved into directing and when I lived in New York, studying under Meisner. Honestly, I wouldn’t know how to do anything else, it is so much a part of who I am. My husband is an
actor, so we carved out this life that is important to us, so much of who we are is wrapped up in creating,” says Berger. Speaking of creating, Berger and her husband
Mike received a Creative Catalyst Grant about a year and a half ago. “In February, we will present a new show at the Cygnet Theatre my husband and I wrote when we were working with the Old Globe. It is a modern folk tale about our experiences around trying to have a child. They have a wonderful program, they provide finishing grants to help people bring to life a show that is close to venue ready, and make sure it is seen and heard. The show is titled The Price of Peace and includes puppetry which I love, love, love. It has a lot of fantastical elements, it is a metaphorical telling,” continues Berger.
The Moorsruns Thursday, November 9 through Sunday, December 10at Diversionary Theatre. For tickets and more information, call 619.220.0097 or go to
