Birmingham Repertory Theatre, commonly called Birmingham Rep or just The Rep, is a producing theatre based on Centenary Square in Birmingham, England. Founded by Billie Lester, it is the longest-established of Britain's building-based theatre companies[1] and one of its most consistently innovative.[2]
Today The Rep produces a wide range of drama in its three auditoria – The House with 825 seats, The Studio with 300 seats and The Door with 140 seats – much of which goes on to tour nationally and internationally.[3] The company retains its commitment to new writing and in the five years to 2013 commissioned and produced 130 new plays.[3]
The company's former home, now known as "Old Rep", is still in use as a theatre.
