Vision Statement:
In celebrating the transforming power of the creative spirit, PacRep Theatre produces bold and daring interpretations of the great plays from the world stage - plays that engage, excite, educate and inspire - presenting a world-class theatrical experience.
About Us:
Pacific Repertory Theatre, a non-profit producer of theatrical productions and events, including the annual Carmel Shake-speare Festival, is the only year-round professional (Equity) theatre in Carmel, California and Monterey County. Known as "PacRep", the company produces an annual season of 9-12 major productions including major musicals, comedies, dramas, Shakespeare, premieres, and family/children's productions.
PacRep is one of the eight major arts institutions in Monterey County, as designated by the Community Foundation of Monterey County, and is supported in part by grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Berkshire Foundation and the Shubert Foundation, among many others.
Annual outreach programs include PacRep's School of Dramatic Arts (SoDA), and the Tix4Kids program, which distributes subsidized theatre tickets to underserved youth.
In 1990, the company reactivated the Carmel Shake-speare Festival of the 1940s (adding the historical hyphen in Shake-speare to denote interest and research in the Shakespeare Authorship Question) which plays in repertory at the Forest, Golden Bough, and Circle Theatres. In addition, the company regularly participates in numerous community activities including regional parades, festivals and holiday events.
