Repertory Theater
The Repertory Theater (REP) was founded in the spring of 2001, and entertains more than 25,000 people every year. The plays are performed by the only professional theater company on the Emerald Coast, and include everything from family shows to sophisticated adult shows. High school students who live in the area can intern at the Seaside Repertory Theater. The children gain practical knowledge by working with the staff and get to be in charge of their own production.

Famous quotes containing the words repertory and/or theater:
“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
