BERKELEY CITY COLLEGE 40TH ANNIVERSARY Berkeley may be best known for one of its higher-ed institutions, but this week a much-deserved spotlight will be trained on the other. Although it has gone by many different names over the years, Berkeley City College has been producing scholars for four decades. BCC’s 40th anniversary celebration will kick off Friday, Oct. 17, and will continue with various events and activities throughout the coming year. Starting at noon, the day will be packed with discussion panels, live music, campus tours, and presentations by a host of officials including Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates. At 5:15 p.m. there will be a dedication of “From the Ground Up/Desde las raices,” a brand new mural created by local artists including BCC students. The college is located at 2050 Center St. RSVPs are encouraged. RECIPE This isn’t your grandmother’s bakery. Rather, it is — but your grandmother is also preparing to overthrow the U.S. government. A new comedic play called “Recipe” tells the story of older women (“sixties refugees”) who belong to the same baking circle and together plan to take on the surveillance state. Central Works is hosting the world premiere of the play, which is written by Michael Sullivan of San Francisco Mime Troupe fame. […]
