Draft:The Seacoast Repertory Theater

The Seacoast Repertory Theatre (The Rep) is a nonprofit, professional regional theatre in historic downtown Portsmouth, NH with the mission of enriching the culture of the community through the shared experience of live theatre. It is a bold innovator on the American theatre scene, with award-winning art that has been featured in the New York Times and shared through live streams around the globe.

Seacoast Rep is a year-round production house, striving to use top-tier theatrical performances as a practice in walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. This practice affords humanity a more vast perspective, a respite from our individual reality, and the opportunity to broaden our views and examine the human condition in ways that enrich our hearts, spirits and minds. It is our hope that this cultivates a more empathetic society.

Theatre is one of the oldest art forms in human history, and also one of mankind’s most all encompassing and collaborative art forms. All aspects of the art created on the Seacoast Rep stage is through the collaboration of our renowned rep company of resident artists, with the ultimate goal of artistic excellence.

In addition to our blockbuster mainstage programming, Seacoast Rep engages humanity through our auxiliary series and community programs, each with its own goal:

-Push artistic boundaries and innovations through our Red Light Series.

-Explore diverse perspectives and share vital conversations through our Sol Series.

-Nurture and cultivate the next generation through The Rep Academy.

-Share the stories of our elders through our Senior Repertory Theatre.

Seacoast Rep is more than entertainment. Art has the power to heal, through the cathartic electricity of live performance.
