San Diego Repertory Theatre Inc

Programs: Founded in 1976, san diego repertory theatre (the theatre) produces intimate, exotic, provocative theatre. We promote a more inclusive community through vivid works that nourish progressive political and social values and celebrate the multiple voices of our region. San diego repertory theatre feeds the curious soul. To achieve our mission we commission and produce bold new works by writers and composers of unique vision that speaks of and to the communities surrounding our unique border city. As the cultural town hall of san diego, we are a multicultural and multidisciplinary performing and visual arts center. Making theatre for and with our neighbors is an act of citizenship that promotes a more tolerant, wiser, progressive and inclusive community. Our activities include: (1) a six play subscription season of world premieres, re-imagined classics, and contemporary pieces; (2) residencies and commissions from a myriad of disciplines, cultures, and countries leading to the creation of new works; (3) two multi-cultural festivals: kuumba fest, an artistic collaboration of african american culture and history, and the lipinsky san diego jewish arts festival, featuring plays, concerts, and exhibitions by jewish artists from around the world; (4) the calafia initiative, a bi-national, cross-disciplinary effort to create new regionally voiced works about the past, present, and future of the californias, rooted in artistic and community partnerships; (5) manager of the lyceum theatre complex, where we co-produce and support events of local artistic organizations; (6) arts education initiative includes internships, fellowships, engagement events and project discovery student matinees (7 -12 arts education); (7) mutually beneficial partnerships with diverse community organizations which foster audience development.
