The San Diego Repertory Theatre is downtown San Diego's resident professional theatre -celebrating year-round on our three stages and in their art galleries the diversity and creativity of their community. As the resident and managing company of the Lyceum Theatre, they produce and host over 300 events and performances a year.

Their mission is informed by a commitment to artistic virtuosity, partnerships with singular artists and their inquisitive neighbors, and lively conversations about their role as citizens in the bi-national region they call home. They choose provocative works of theatre to inspire their audiences and artists to build the communication bridges needed to understand who they are today, and who they might become.

The company was founded in 1976 by Sam Woodhouse and D.W. Jacobs.
