The Rep Announces 24/25 Mainstage Season

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis
Announces Award-Winning Titles, a Holiday Musical, and New Partnerships for its 58^th Anniversary 2024- 2025 Season

 

St. Louis, MO – (March 21, 2024) The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis (The Rep) today announced its 2024-2025 season, which includes four world-class productions all taking place at the Loretto-Hilton Center, in the Virginia Jackson Browning Theatre on the campus of Webster University. Curated to provide unique experiences for the full spectrum of the St. Louis community, the 2024-25 season includes mystery, comedy, thrilling storytelling and a holiday musical for all to enjoy.

 

The Rep’s 2024-25 Season kicks off with Frederick Knott’s suspense thriller Dial M for Murder September 18 - October 13, 2024. Featuring an exclusively local St. Louis cast, audiences will be at the edge of their seats as they delve into the deception and betrayal of this timeless classic.

 

Next up to celebrate the holiday season, Million Dollar Quartet Christmas brings together Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in a holiday jam session that will have audiences toasting the season December 4 - 22, 2024. A collaboration with STAGES St. Louis, this production combines two powerhouse performing arts organizations on one stage and is the first production of the musical to be performed in St. Louis.

 

At the top of 2025 comes the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage’s Tony-nominated comedy, Clyde’s, February 5 - March 2, 2025.  Named the most produced play of 2023, a truck stop sandwich shop becomes the unexpected stage for redemption, second chances and the quest for the perfect sandwich.

 

To close out the Mainstage season from the adaptor of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express comes Ken Ludwig’s up-roaring retelling of Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood, March 19 - April 13, 2025. Akin to The Rep’s recent productions of Moby Dick, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Pride and Prejudice, Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood’s expansive storytelling will have audiences swept away as the charismatic outlaw battles a power-hungry prince for the soul of England.

“Following a banner year filled with critically acclaimed productions and a tremendous outpouring of support from the community, we look forward to continuing the momentum of artistic excellence that creates memorable theatrical experiences for all of our patrons in our upcoming 58^th Anniversary season,” said Danny Williams, Managing Director. “We received valuable feedback this past season and have diligently devised innovative and sustainable action steps to meet the needs of the theatre and our cherished community. This exciting season is a reflection of those needs, which presents an opportunity to produce a wide array of offerings to delight and challenge our valued patrons as well as welcome new and old audiences to the theatre to position it as an enduring institution for the St. Louis community.”

 

Looking ahead, The Rep is excited to introduce its new Augustin Family Artistic Director later this spring and the much-anticipated Steve Woolf Studio Series taking place in the Emerson Studio Theatre will be announced later this summer.

The Rep will also continue to offer its Learning and Community Engagement (LACE) programs that provide people of all ages opportunities to deeply engage with the art they see on stage through immersive in-classroom and extracurricular learning opportunities, public forums for civic discourse, and opportunities to participate in the artmaking process. Programs include the Story 2 Stage Festival which features student-written and produced plays, the Imaginary Theatre Company (ITC) public performance in Spring 2025 and Camp Rep, where students over the summer receive a two-week immersion in all things theatre culminating with a family showcase.
