repertory theatre
Seasonal production company
Repertory theatre 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 troupe might perform a comedy on Tuesday, a tragedy on Thursday, cycling through their repertoire.
This demands versatile actors and allows audiences to see the same performers in varied roles.
Also called rep or repertory.
