Specialties
We are a theatre company dedicated to the art in theatre and the theatrical in art. We celebrate the innovative, the provocative, the poetic. We are a theatre of image, word, and gesture. We seek texts that are issue-driven and inventive. As a theatrical laboratory, we explore, engage, and examine. As a theatrical training program, we nurture and challenge the theatre artists of the future. Cal Rep is committed not only to the survival, but to the evolution of theatre.
History
Established in 1989
Since 1989, California Repertory Company (Cal Rep) has been the leading professional educational theatre company in Southern California. The company is comprised of the graduate students, faculty, and staff in the Theatre Arts Department at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Cal Rep is dedicated to nurturing artists and challenging audiences by developing exciting, relevant, and thought-provoking work.
In 2009 Cal Rep moved to its current home at the Royal Theatre aboard the Queen Mary. Joanne Gordon, Cal Rep's artistic director, says, "The elegant refined glory of the Queen Mary combined with the vibrant exciting aesthetic of Cal Rep is sure to produce a thrilling synergy and an invigorating theatrical experience for our audiences."
