Repertory Philippines [REP] came about because of one dream—that dream of bringing world
class theatre experience to the Filipinos. Half a century of existence is
really something to be happy about as REP have remained a stable reputable
theatre company to date. They’ve recently marked their 50th year in
the entertainment industry by coming up with a two-hour show held at The
Theatre at Soilare with 135 performers onstage and seven musical suites that
gave audiences a glimpse of how the REP had its humble beginnings.

The 50
Years of Telling Stories was indeed a clear testament of the theatre company’s
success. The two hour show highlighted everything important to every REP—from production
staff, personnel, musicians, actors, directors and benefactors—practically all who
contributed to the success of the said theatre company.
“REP will
go on telling stories, training Filipino talents and sharing the best of
theatre for years to come,” said Repertory Philippines president Mindy
Perez-Rubio.

In its
five decades of existence, REP has produced 80 seasons with 444 theater
productions. Their home has moved from the old Insular Life Theater to the
William J. Shaw Theatre in Shangri-La Plaza Mall and today, performances are
made at Onstage Greenbelt in Makati City.
