LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Lafayette Middle School Student stars in Berkeley Playhouse Youth Production

Lafayette resident Sarah Berten, a Stanley Middle School seventh grader, recently performed the lead role of Hope Cladwell in Berkeley Playhouse's Teen Stage musical theater production of Tony Award-winning "Urinetown." Hope is the innocent then rebellious daughter of corporate manager Caldwell B. Cladwell. The play was performed at the historic Julia Morgan Theater.

This fall, Sarah looks forward to performing with Ohana Arts in "Peace On Your Wings," the story of Sadako Sasaki, which will perform in San Jose and Seattle.
