Vision
Sixty years ago, we imagined a future where theatre would grow into a sustainable industry—one that empowers artists to earn a living through their craft. That vision has been realized.
Mission
At REP, our mission is to enrich lives through the power of theatre. By 2030, we aim to be the country’s leading home for outstanding local live theatre in English—creating experiences that move, inspire, and bring people together.
Objectives & Goals
To achieve our goal of making our country a leading force in the world of theater, we are dedicated to the principles of excellence, inclusivity, diversity, engagement, empowerment, technology, and recognition. We aim to be a thriving organization that is fiscally sound, and has endowed reserves to support its programming and most importantly its beneficiaries.
By adhering to these principles, we envision a future where our country stands at the forefront of the global theater community, celebrated for its achievements, diversity, and the impact it has on the lives of individuals. Join us on this journey as we strive to enrich lives and shape the future of theater in the Philippines.
Values & Beliefs
- We believe in fostering an enthusiastic, appreciated and hard working corps of individuals who serve as staff, volunteers and Board members.
- We believe in collaborating and developing strategic partnerships with various organizations that are constructive, positive, and advantageous to advancing our mission and goals.
- We believe in inspiring and helping children make theatre an active part of their lives by providing them with sponsorships in Workshops and encouraging them to watch our shows.
- We believe in providing free opportunities to those who wish to make a livelihood by expressing their art through the theatrical experience.
Our History
People embarking on the highly implausible and the seemingly impossible are more often than not considered “slightly mad” if not downright crazy. Yet it is from these people’s madcap minds that some of the greatest ideas are born. Repertory Philippines is one of them. In a world where only those with independent incomes could do theater and at a time when there was no theater industry let alone plays produced on a regular basis, six idealists thought to put up a theater group that would change all that.
About the Company
It is the only theater company that never ceases to teach and train young, deserving and passionate actors. REP produces western plays – both modern and the classics – non-stop throughout the year except for the summer months when attention turns to Performing Arts workshops and their corresponding showcase productions, to further educate deserving students. To this date it has staged 469 productions — each running from 12 to over 60 performances. One of its past musical productions, LES MISERABLES, a full local production by REP under Cameron Mackintosh’s approval and directed by Zeneida Amador, was called the best musical and perhaps the best musical ever in the country and in Southeast Asia.
