Repertory theatre, also known as REP theatre, is a type of theatre in which a group of actors perform a variety of plays. It is usually done by a resident company that performs a range of plays over a period of time, often with the same cast. The term repertory theatre comes from the Latin word repertorium, meaning 'STOREHOUSE' or 'COLLECTION'. Repertory theatre is an important part of theatrical history and has been around since the 19th century. It is a great way to experience a variety of plays and to see how different actors interpret the same roles.
