repertory
Company's play collection
Repertory refers to a collection of works that a performer or company has prepared and can present: The orchestra's repertory includes all nine Beethoven symphonies.
In theater, repertory (or rep) describes a system where a company rotates through multiple productions rather than running one show continuously.
The word overlaps with repertoire, though repertory more often describes the system or institution, repertoire the personal collection of skills or works.
