repertory theater
Resident company playhouse
Repertory theater is a system where a resident company of actors performs multiple plays in rotation rather than staging a single production for an extended run.
The same actors appear in different roles across the season's offerings.
This model, common in Britain and continental Europe, emphasizes ensemble work and allows audiences to see varied productions: The repertory theater is doing Shaw this week and Chekhov next.
