We’re thrilled to have you! Whether it’s your first time visiting or your hundredth, we want you to have the best experience possible. Here are some details to prepare you for your visit.
The Rep performs in two unique spaces at the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Webster University.
The Virginia Jackson Browning Theatre is our grand 763-seat auditorium with a three-quarter thrust stage, offering an intimate view from every seat.
The Emerson Studio Theatre, whose capacity and stage arrangement vary by show, is a black box theatre that provides 'adventurous theatre for adventurous theatre-goers,' where bold, boundary-pushing performances come to life. 
Although we share our venue with other arts organizations like Opera Theatre St. Louis and Webster University's Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts, these organizations are separate from The Rep. For tickets to non-Rep productions in these spaces, please contact the producing organization.
The Rep is in the heart of Webster Groves on the campus of Webster University, not far from Highway 44. There are currently four lots available for patron parking at The Rep. Click to learn more about parking at The Rep.

The Rep is dedicated to making theatre accessible for everyone. We offer accessible seating, listening devices, and more to ensure all guests are comfortable. Learn more about our accommodations on our accessibility page and feel free to contact our Box Office (314-968-4925) to request accommodations.
More Info
We recommend arriving about 30 minutes before showtime to get settled in. If you arrive after the performance starts, we may ask you to wait for a designated break to enter the theatre. For everyone's safety and enjoyment, latecomers will be seated in the closest available spots and can move to their ticketed seats during intermission.
Phones and electronic devices must be turned off prior to the performance, and texting is not allowed during the show. Before the show starts, we’ll remind you to turn off your phone and any other electronic devices.
We love it when you take photos of the set before the show or during intermission, but once the performance begins, please keep the cameras away. No video or audio recording is allowed. If you capture a cool shot, share it with us on social by tagging @repstl!
Absolutely! We offer a selection of snacks and beverages for purchase at our concessions area, including each featured cocktail for every production. Drinks must have lids inside of the theatre. Outside food and drinks are not permitted. Cash, Card and Pay-by-phone are accepted at the concessions area.
Smoking (and the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping) is not permitted on the campus of Webster University, including the Loretto-Hilton Center and all surrounding areas.
No need to stress about a dress code—just come as you are! We want you to be comfortable, so wear whatever feels right for you. The Rep encourages our guests to attend as their authentic selves.
The Rep's Mainstage and Studio productions are geared primarily towards audiences 12 years and up. Each show’s page contains age recommendations and content details to assist in determining whether a performance may be appropriate for younger children. All patrons, no matter their age, must have a valid ticket.
For Rep programming specifically for children and their families, check out our Imaginary Theatre Company offerings.
If you have additional questions about whether a given production would be suitable for young members of your family, please call the Box Office at 314-968-4925.
The Rep does not offer a Coat Check service. However, there is an area where coats may be hung in the House Right vestibule before entering the theatre for patron usage free of charge. The Rep is not responsible for personal items stored here, and usage is at the patron’s own risk.
Subscribers enjoy perks like discounted tickets, easy exchanges, and free parking. Learn more on the subscription page.
More Info
The Rep applies ticketing fees to help cover costs beyond the ticket price, such as credit card processing, our ticketing system, and venue rental. These fees apply no matter how you purchase your ticket.
Tickets are not refundable. Tickets may be exchanged for another performance of the same production up until two hours prior to a performance. Exchanges are subject to a fee for non-subscribers, but are complimentary for Season Ticket Holders. If a ticket is exchanged into a higher priced seat or performance, the ticket holder will be asked to pay the difference in price. Tickets may also be donated back to the theatre as a tax-deductible contribution by calling the Box Office no later than two hours prior to a performance.
For the health and safety of our cast, crew, staff and audience members, please do not attend the show if you are feeling unwell. Please call the Box Office at 314-968-4925 to discuss alternate arrangements.
