About the Repertory Season
The purpose of the Repertory Season is to facilitate a professional experience, as students in their graduating year work with professional designers, stage managers, production companies, and benefit from the response of real audiences. While many events and educational programs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that started in early 2020 were shifted to a successful online and nontraditional instruction, the Repertory Season, after a two-season hiatus, is now happy to be back live.
