New Repertory Theatre was established to bring the joy of theatre and art to people in the Boston area. Now in its fourth decade, New Repertory Theatre has been known for its electrifying, compelling, and poignant productions, and in a time where it is so important that plays reflect our world and community, New Rep brings us shows that are provocative, intelligent, and entertaining.
We must continue to support the work of up-and-coming artists, and New Rep is leading that charge. Like life reflecting art, New Repertory Theatre is committed to bringing new works to the stage. Since 1984, New Rep champions the development, production, and continued life of new plays for the American theatre.
Since 2005, New Repertory Theatre has also been the professional theatre company in residence at the Mosesian Center for the Arts (formerly the Arsenal Center for the Arts) in Watertown. Since the benefits of the arts reach far beyond the walls of the theatre, New Rep has created educational programs to enrich and foster the spirit of creativity in students. New Rep’s Classic Repertory Company tours professional caliber productions throughout Massachusetts, with a special emphasis on bringing underserved communities affordable, or even free, performances. Annually, Classic Repertory Company reaches over 14,000 students.
